Umid Party Complaining about Violation of Election Campaign
The party Umid reported the intervention of the executive authorities in the election campaign.
Thus, voters who gave their signatures in favor of candidates from the party Umid, are under pressure so that they abandoned their signatures. In some areas, there are attempts to tear the signature sheets, or steal them. This occurs most often in Beylagan, Gadabay, Yevlakh, Agsu, Gazakh and several other districts.
In Beylagan voters are required to declare that their signatures in favor of the candidate of the Umid were taken by fraud.
The party condemns these illegal actions, which indicate the opacity and undemocratic nature of the election campaign. -06D--
