Independent politician Yekaterina Duntsova wanted to run on a platform to end the war with Ukraine.
But the electoral commission voted unanimously to reject her candidacy three days after her application, citing 100 “mistakes” on her form.
Ms Duntsova said she would appeal the decision at the Supreme Court.
The commission said 29 people have so far filed to run for the presidency. But after today’s decision, Mr Putin remains the only candidate to be able to register as a candidate.
they wouldnt let a swarm of mosquitoes run, in fear of losing the popular vote
You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about. Current polling has major regions in russia polling 113% of the popular vote to putin. Do your research.
you wouldnt believe how staunchly those kind of polls are quoted to prove the popular support of the regime in online(and offline) discussions here and beyond the border
What’s worse is that people believe in those numbers, although hopefully not all do
