Some candidates withdraw their candidacies – Azerbaijani election commission

Baku, Azerbaijan, Oct. 14

By Azer Niftiyev - Trend:

A part of MP candidates out of 1,246 people registered to participate in the parliamentary election until Oct. 13 in Azerbaijan, withdrew their candidacies, and about 1,000 candidates remained, Mazahir Panahov, the Chairman of the Central Election Commission (CEC), said Oct. 14.

He said that during the printing of ballots, the central election commission tries to omit the names of persons who withdrew their candidacies, as it misleads the voters.

"In this regard, we gave the appropriate instructions to precinct and district election commissions," Panahov said.

The parliamentary election in Azerbaijan will be held on November 1.
