The Chairman of the Organizational Committee of Azerbaijan Democratic Party for the Preparation to the Congress, Sardar Jalaloglu, stated on 19 February at a press conference that he will put forward his candidature at the congress which is scheduled to take place in May 2007, Trend reports. There are many people in the Azerbaijan Democratic Party (ADP) who are worthy to be Chairman of the Party. I also see myself amongst these people. Should I receive support from the Party members, I will nominate myself for the post of Chairman, Jalaloglu said. I did not put myself forward before because Rasul Guliyev protested against it, Jalaloglu said.

He stressed that he did not want to become a substitute for Guliyev because Guliyev does not hold a favorable image within the Party. The recent congress was attended by 600 people. Despite that Guliyev was the only candidate for the post of Chairman, 200 people voted against him. When Guliyev was unable to return to Azerbaijan on 17 October 2005, many people requested for him to be removed from his post as Chairman, Jalaloglu said.

At present the opposition Azerbaijan Democratic Party is the member of Azadlyg Political Block. The Chairman of ADP, created in 1991, ex-Speaker of Azerbaijan, Rasul Guliyev, has been living as an emigrant since 1996.
