What the case is about
A gubernatorial aspirant challenged Gaidam's eligibility to contest the 2015 election, arguing the 1999 Constitution does not permit a chief executive to take the oath of office more than twice, given Gaidam had already been sworn in twice (following his 2009 accession and 2011 re-election).
Ruling & compliance
Gaidam lost the underlying argument at neither level: both the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court rejected the challenge, clearing him to contest and go on to win a third term.
