52. On Article 56(6) of the Charter, the Complainants submit that the Communication is submitted within a reasonable time after exhaustion of local remedies, that is, within six months of the proclamation of the 2015 elections results, and therefore that the Communication satisfies the requirement of Article 56(6) of the Charter. 53. On Article 56(7) of the Charter, the Complainant submits that the Communication satisfies the requirement of the Charter, as the Communication has not been submitted to any international or regional procedure of investigation or settlement. The Commission’s Analysis of Admissibility 54. Article 56 of the Charter sets out seven conditions that a Communication submitted under Article 55 of the Charter must satisfy to be Admissible. The requirements apply conjunctively and cumulatively.5 The Complainants submit that the present Communication meets all the Admissibility requirements in Article 56 of the Charter. 55. The Commission recalls that notice of the pending Communication was sent to the Respondent State and requests that it submits its observations and evidence on the Complainants’ arguments on Admissibility in line with Rule 105(2) of the 2010 Rules of Procedure. However, the Respondent State did not submit its observations and evidence on the Admissibility of the Communication. 56. In a situation where a State Party fails to submit its observations and evidence in line with Rule 105(2) of the 2010 Rules of Procedure, despite notice to that effect, the Commission has no option but to proceed with its consideration of the Communication’.6 Accordingly, and in line with its existing jurisprudence, the Commission will analyse and determine the Admissibility of the Communication based on the information supplied by the Complainants in their submissions on admissibility.
