On Saturday, a Russian politician advocating for peace in Ukraine encountered a setback in her campaign. The Central Election Commission of Russia declined to accept her initial nomination, which was submitted by a group of supporters. The commission cited errors in the documents as the reason for their refusal.
According to the AP, Yekaterina Duntsova, a former legislator, is advocating for peace in Ukraine and expressing her desire to contest President Vladimir Putin. She envisions a Russia that is characterized by its humanity and is committed to being peaceful, amicable, and willing to collaborate with all parties based on the principle of respect. Duntsova's statement on the Telegram messaging app indicated that the Central Election Commission declined to register her initiative group on December 23. The commission, as reported by a Telegram channel associated with her campaign, has identified numerous errors in her nomination papers. These errors, totaling 100 in number, encompass various aspects such as misspelled names.
As a young woman, you possess a vast array of opportunities and possibilities that lie ahead of you. During a meeting of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, the head of the commission, expressed a belief that any negative situation can be transformed into a positive one. Duntsova has expressed her intention to challenge the decision by appealing to Russia's Supreme Court. Additionally, she has urged the leaders of the Yabloko political party to nominate her as a candidate.
According to Russian state media reports on Saturday, Grigory Yavlinsky, the founder and leader of the Yabloko party, has decided not to run for the presidency. This information was provided by the party's press service. During a live interview on YouTube, Yavlinsky responded to the news of Duntsova's appeal to Yabloko by stating that he was uncertain about the party's stance on her application.
In addition, several parties have made public their endorsements for the upcoming presidential election in March, during which Vladimir Putin will be running for reelection. After conducting a secret ballot, the Russian Communist Party, which holds the position of the second-largest party in the State Duma, the lower house of Parliament, made an official announcement. They declared their endorsement of Duma deputy Nikolai Kharitonov as their chosen nominee.
The Just Russia-For Truth party has officially declared its support for Putin's nomination, as stated by party leader Sergei Mironov, according to the AP. Candidates who run against President Putin in the Duma are typically put forward by various political parties. However, it is important to note that these parties often represent only a symbolic opposition and tend to align with President Putin's agenda.
