The judicialization of electoral disputes pits traditionalists, who tend to favour Election Management Bodies for resolution, versus often their own governments who have more sway with appointed judges. Both approaches have weaknesses, but through a court process there is written record that can be released and appealed.
The Opposition has strong incentives for the reform of how courts deal with disputes arising from election results.
Opposition International believes the day will come when regional multi-country electoral courts will emerge as a preferred and credible option.
