a fresh election. The Supreme Court of Appeal being the highest court of the Respondent State, this Court finds that local remedies were exhausted in the present Application, and the requirement set out under Rule 50(2)(e) of the Rules is thus met. 34. With regard to the requirement set out under Rule 50(2)(f) of the Rules, the Court recalls that assessment of the reasonableness of time to file an application should be considered on a case-by-case basis.2 The Court has previously held that in circumstances where the time being assessed is relatively short, the Applicant will be exempted from proving reasonableness and the said time will thus be said to be manifestly reasonable.3 35. The Court notes that, in the instant matter, the Supreme Court of Appeal delivered its judgment on 21 April 2021, while the present Application was filed before the Court on 5 May 2021. Therefore, only fourteen (14) days elapsed between the time the local remedies were exhausted and the filing of the Application before the Court. In view of the above, the Court finds that the Application was filed within a manifestly reasonable time and therefore in accordance with Rule 50(2)(f) of the Rules. 36. The Court also holds that the Application does not raise any matter or issues previously settled by the parties in accordance with the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, the Constitutive Act of the African Union, the provisions of the Charter as required under Rule 50(2)(g) of the Rules. 37. As a consequence of the foregoing, the Court holds that the Application fulfils all the requirements set out under Article 56 of the Charter as restated in Rule 50(2) of the Rules and accordingly finds the Application admissible. 2 Amiri Ramadhani v.
