The country’s highest court has dissolved the leadership of the main opposition party, the Alliance for Democracy and Change, in a ruling that could reshape the political landscape just months before national elections. The decision follows legal challenges to the party’s internal governance, raising concerns about its ability to organize effectively ahead of the vote. Legal experts and opposition figures have condemned the move as politically motivated, though the court has not yet provided detailed reasoning for its ruling. The development underscores mounting tensions in the lead-up to what was expected to be a closely contested electoral process.
