The TSE recognizes that NI has 46 pure deputies, 10 in coalition, of which 9 were proposed by them and one by WIN, corresponds to the Cabanyes department.
The 56th deputy who represents the qualified majority in the Legislative Assembly has provoked a political lawsuit between two allied political parties, New Ideas and the Grand Alliance for National Unity (GANA).
This, after the presiding magistrate of the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) Dora Esmeralda Barahona, representative of the WIN party, wrote on Friday night on her Twitter account that the New Ideas party had 55 deputies and a day after that he was 56.

The truth is that the TSE recognizes that NI has 46 pure deputies, 10 in coalition, of which 9 were proposed by NI and one by the WIN party, which corresponds to the Cabanyes department.
WIN attributes it to him for having been proposed by them. However, the reality is that both parties are allies and together they form 61 votes for the qualified majority.
What do TSE magistrates say?
“In coalition with WIN, he gets 55, plus WIN he got 6, here they make a qualified majority, but NI only has a simple majority and this agrees with the hypotheses that had been raised,” said magistrate Julio Olivera. He added “one thing is that it makes you get the N only, how you got WIN only, how you got the N and WIN in coalition and so on in every department.”
