Boris Nadezhdin
, has announced that his candidacy has been rejected by the Central Election Commission.
Nadezhdin said he will appeal to the Supreme Court.
"I do not agree with the Commission's decision - Nadezhdin wrote on his Telegram channel -. I collected more than 200 thousand signatures throughout Russia. We conducted the collection of signatures openly and honestly and the whole world saw the queues at our offices and collection points".
According to Nadezhdin, the Election Commission did not reject him, but rather "tens of millions" of Russians who wanted to vote for him, but he admitted that incumbent President Vladimir Putin would have had a better chance of winning.
"I am in second position after Putin, in the polls I have double-digit forecasts, and you tell me about 11 deaths", said Nadezhdin, addressing the Election Commission, according to which, in fact, among the signatures collected would include those of 11 deceased people .
"There is nothing to comment here, the Central Election Commission precisely follows the rules established for candidates."
Putin's spokesman, Dmitri Peskov
, said this
regarding the case of Boris Nadezhdin: the politician opposed to the war in Ukraine who this morning announced that his candidacy for the Russian presidential elections had been rejected by the Central Election Commission.
"There are certain parameters that the candidate must meet. And what we heard today from the Central Election Commission is that there were a large number of irregularities in the signatures and that many signatures were invalid. That is, this important criterion was not met "Peskov said.
However, the decision of the Russian Election Commission to reject Nadezhdin's candidacy is considered by many to be clearly politically motivated.
