Azerbaijan, Baku, Sept. 10 / Trend , J.Babayeva/
The municipal elections in Azerbaijan will be held in a competitive and stable atmosphere, believes Ali Hasanov, the Head of the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Socio-Political Department.
"I believe that the elections will take place with an active participation of political parties and candidates. The Azerbaijani voters will elect members of municipalities and form a municipality, which they need. The candidates to be elected must ensure the rights of voters of local self-government," Hasanov told journalists on Sept. 10.
Azerbaijan will hold the municipal elections in mid-December.
Hasanov believes that the unification of municipalities reflects the demands of the existing reality. "The unification of municipalities will bring dynamism in their development and increase the efficiency of large municipalities, as well as create conditions to develop and improve the municipality," he said.
The Head of the Presidential Administration Department believes that all political parties will participate in the municipal elections. "A political party that will not take part in these elections has no prospects. How can this political party take part in the presidential and parliamentary elections?" Hasanov said.
