Oct. 22 (UPI) -- Costa Rica's Legislative Assembly plans to determine whether to lift President Rodrigo Chaves' immunity after a request from the Supreme Electoral Tribunal.
That request was prompted by 15 complaints alleging political partisanship -- an offense defined under the Electoral Code that bars public officials from engaging in partisan activities.
Acting Legislative Assembly President Vanessa Castro sent lawmakers a draft resolution on the process Monday.
Congress is now reviewing the procedure to process the case, which includes forming a special three-member committee that will have 20 days to submit a report to the full assembly.
