Azerbaijan, Baku, July 24 / Trend K. Zarbaliyeva /

The ruling 'New Azerbaijan Party' announced party chairman, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev as its candidate for the presidential elections in 2013.

"I think that several press bodies are engaged in provocation over a candidate from the New Azerbaijan Party," deputy chairman and executive secretary of the ruling party Ali Ahmadov told media today. "A candidate from the ruling party is the candidate supported by the Azerbaijani people. We have repeatedly stated that the candidature of the chairman of the ruling party, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev is supported not only by all members of the party, but by most people."

While saying that there is a good reason for this, Ahmadov added that the dynamic development of Azerbaijan's economy during the presidency of Ilham Aliyev and holding a successful foreign policy are its basis.

As the presidential election will be held in autumn 2013, the party plans to hold its congress earlier to officially nominate its candidate on the eve of the elections.
