Abstract
This research analyzes the legal conflict arising when a presidential candidate, whose initial conviction has been reversed by the Supreme Court and remanded for retrial, is elected to office. It highlights the tensions between criminal justice procedures and electoral legal norms, focusing on the uncertainty regarding eligibility, legitimacy, and executive continuity. The study proposes legal harmonization mechanisms to address this intersection and ensure consistency in the application of justice and democratic representation.
