Sint-Truiden (Eurotoday): Sint-Truiden’s election complaints from CD&V were rejected by the Council for Electoral Disputes. CD&V leader Ingrid Kempeneers may appeal. A new governing board is expected by January 6, 2025. Pascal Monette (Open VLD) and Günther Dauw (N-VA) criticized CD&V’s claims. CD&V will pay €1,236 in witness costs.
Sint-Truiden is getting a new board just before Christmas, as the Council for Electoral Disputes has rejected CD&V Sint-Truiden’s complaints about the elections. CD&V alleged issues with vote counting and proxy requests, but the Council found no solid evidence that these problems would change the results. They noted some mistakes in reporting but said they weren’t serious. CD&V’s claims about proxy misuse near nursing homes also lacked proof, leading the Council to dismiss the allegations.
How will Sint-Truiden move forward after CD&V’s election complaints were rejected?
The Council found no evidence that anyone voted using the name of a dead person. Pascal Monette from Open VLD was relieved and criticized CD&V for how they handled the situation, hoping the people of Truien can now find peace. Other parties were glad to form a new government but pointed out CD&V’s mistakes. Günther Dauw from N-VA called CD&V’s claims weak and said they wasted time on them. Marin Ghys from WOW chose to stay quiet to avoid media conflicts and wants a fresh start for Sint-Truiden.
CD&V Sint-Truiden is considering appealing to the Council of State after their recent case was rejected. Ingrid Kempeneers, the CD&V leader, said the council only looks at the information given. Future mayor Ludwig Vandenhove from Vooruit is happy with the decision and thinks CD&V should accept it. Sint-Truiden will get an official letter soon and has 15 days to set up the new governing board, likely by January 6. CD&V will also have to pay 1,236 euros for witness costs from the hearing.
