Azerbaijan, Baku, Nov. 5 / Trend News A. Huseynbala /

The New Azerbaijan ruling party has prepared for the municipal elections agitation campaign.

"We will conduct our campaign in accordance with Azerbaijani election legislation," New Azerbaijan party Deputy Executive Secretary, MP Mubariz Gurbanli told Trend News today.

The Azerbaijani municipal elections are scheduled for Dec. 23.

Roughly 15,682 members are expected to be elected for 1,718 municipalities.

Municipal elections were held in 1999 and 2004.

Gurbanli said a book, posters, booklets and other materials have been published for the campaign.

"Different events with the participation of municipal members will be held for voters," he said.  

Gurbanli said the municipal elections differ from parliamentary and presidential elections. The ruling party's agitation campaign will also differ.

"We prepared for the elections more thoroughly than other parties. I think most of our candidates will be elected as municipal members as a result of the voting," Gurbanli said.

The New Azerbaijan party was established by Azerbaijani national leader Heydar Aliyev. Aliyev was the chairman of the Supreme Majlis of Nakhichivan at the time. Today, President Ilham Aliyev heads the party.
