The Constituency Election Commission is to submit the final report to CEC 48 hours after the completion of the election.
Within 20 days, CEC will check and announce the election results. Furthermore, the Constitutional Court within 10 days will check and validate the election results.
The winner will be the candidate who receives the largest number of votes.
In the elections in 2015 Aghazadeh also ran for MP in the Khatai district of Baku, but, according to official figures, he did not pass to the parliament. Aghazadeh challenged the results of the vote, but failed to achieve their revision.
By-elections for the 90th constituency of Agdash were appointed in connection with the cancellation of the results of the November 1, 2015 elections, which were won by the head of AG Bank Chingiz Asadullayev. The reason for the cancellation was violations identified during the voting. However, for dozens of other districts, where the opposition candidates reported numerous violations, such a decision was not taken. According to unofficial information, the reason for the cancellation of the election results in Agdash was Asadullayev’s proximity to the disgraced former Minister of National Security Eldar Mahmudov. -06D--
