On September 13, the Central Election Commission (CEC) of Azerbaijan declared the results of the parliamentary elections invalid at the 30th polling station of the 21st Nasimi-Binagadi district. This decision was made following a complaint from Gylagi Aslanli, a candidate from the Musavat party. As usual, this ruling did not affect the overall outcome in the district, where the leading candidate from the ruling party “Yeni Azerbaijan”, Malahat Ibragimgizi, is in the lead.
The CEC also annulled the results at three polling stations in the 97th Terter-Aghdere-Geranboy district based on a complaint from candidate and activist Shahriyar Medjidzade. Similarly, this decision did not alter the overall election results in this district, where Anar Mamedov, a candidate from “Yeni Azerbaijan”, remains in the lead.
The CEC also reviewed complaints from four other districts – the 17th Yasamal Third, the 22nd Nasimi-Yasamal, the 120th Jbrail-Gubadli, and the 8th Binagadi First. These complaints were not upheld.

The court records from the trial of Teymur Kerimov, the head of the YouTube channel Kanal-11, were falsified, the declaration distributed by Kerimov's colleagues. “The court documents are distorted. They misrepresented the testimony of citizens. For instance, the victim Leila Almaszadeh stated in court that she had no complaints against me. In court, she said, “Teymur did not ask me for money and did not receive any money from me.” However, the court protocol states that she is complaining about me and demands the removal of illegally recorded videos,” writes Kerimov.
