77The right to vote and to stand as a candidate in municipal elections in the Member State of residence of United Kingdom nationals, referred to in Article 10(b) of the Withdrawal Agreement, does not fall within the scope of Part Two of that agreement. Thus, a national of the United Kingdom, such as EP, who exercised his or her right to reside in a Member State in accordance with EU law before the end of the transition period and who subsequently continues to reside there, cannot validly rely on that prohibition of discrimination in order to claim the right to vote and to stand as a candidate in municipal elections in her Member State of residence, a right of which he or she is deprived following the United Kingdom’s sovereign decision to withdraw from the European Union.
