The move all but kills off any hope of the progressive Move Forward leading the next government and paves the way for the legislature to hold another vote on a prime minister as soon as this week. In its decision, the court said it declined to accept the case because it was lodged by a group of more than 20 individuals that did not include the prime ministerial candidate himself.
Allies of Move Forward had petitioned the court to decide on the legality of a July 19 decision by legislators to prevent Pita from being nominated for premier for a second time after his failure at the first attempt.
