The Head of State last week called for a second election as a way to break a month-long deadlock between the caretaker Human Rights Protection Party government and the newcomer FAST party, that has prevented a new government being formed.
The move toward a second election came after advice from the caretaker prime minister, after no clear winner arose from the country s election last month.
The FAST party has called the move toward a second election unconstitutional, and filed a challenge in the Supreme Court seeking to have the head of state s decision thrown out.

The challenge will be heard on Friday with a decision due on Monday.
Also to be decided Monday is FAST s challenge to the extra woman s seat which created the current deadlock.
And six of 28 electoral petitions and counter-petitions have been set down for the weeks commencing 31 May and 7 June.
But if FAST s challenge to the fresh election fails, they will be voided.
