On September 1, Azerbaijan Popular Front Party (APFT) forwarded a protest letter to the Central Election Commission of Azerbaijan (CEC), deputy chairman of the party on organizational issues Hasan Karimov told journalists, Trend reports.
The reason is the non-participation of candidates from APFP in the repeat, additional and new municipal elections scheduled for October 6. More than 20 candidates have appealed to CEC on behalf of APFP.
Karimov stressed that no candidate on behalf of APFP will participate in the municipal elections. The candidates who joined the municipal elections on behalf of our party have no relations with APFP. They appealed to CEC, using their identity signed by deceased chairman of APFP Abulfaz Elchibay. Most of registered candidates are the members of Classic Popular Front Party and United Popular Front Party, he underlined.
Moreover, Karimov said that in the letter, they have given three-day period to CEC to resolve the question. If the question isnt resolved in a form satisfying us, we will appeal to the court, Karimov stressed.
He pointed out that the members of the party will be issued new identities.
