Baku / 26.01.20 / Turan: A candidate for deputy in the 33rd Khatai first district, leader of the D18 movement Ruslan Izzetli will appeal to the Baku Administrative Court on January 27 with a complaint of the Central Election Commission (CEC).
The reason for this was not providing him with a comprehensive response from the CEC to the candidate’s request.
In particular, Izzetli asked for information about whether his rival in this district, Huseynbala Miralamov, provided information about his property in the country and offshore, about which journalist Javanshir Hasanli living abroad wrote when Miralamov ran and was elected to the Milli Majlis of 3rd, 4th and 5th convocations.
Izzetli was also interested in whether Miralamov indicated this information during the current election campaign.
Izzetli received a response from the CEC that district election commissions provide information about the requested information.
“However, the district election commissions are local representatives of the CEC, and they send all requests to the CEC. In view of the failure of the CEC to fulfill its powers, we decided to sue it because we did not receive a response to our request,” Izzetli said.
It has not yet been possible to get comments from the CEC and Miralamov.
Turan is ready to also provide positions of other interested parties. -06B-
