The Azerbaijan Social Democratic Party (ASDP), entering New Policy election block, made a decision on leaving the block, Araz Alizade, the chairman of the party, told Trend.

He noted that the plenary session of the central board of the party was held on Wednesday. The session discussed participation in the by-elections, appointment of representative to the Central Election Committee (CEC), leaving the block and other issues. ASDP appointed 3 representatives with major suffrage and 1 with consultative suffrage to CEC.

He will choose either Sumgayit-Absheron constituency 44 or Nizamy 2nd constituency (Ganja) to ballot in the elections.

Alizade also stressed that they held negations on transmission of New Policy election block into political one. ASDP is also to be represented in this block.
