Court Removes Yabloko from Pskov Elections
The Pskov Regional Court removed the 'Yabloko' party from the election ballot in the Pskov region following a lawsuit filed by the 'Motherland' party, which sought to disqualify 'Yabloko' from the regional Legislative Council elections.
Consensus
- The Pskov Regional Court removed Yabloko's regional list from the regional legislative assembly elections.
- The court acted on a lawsuit filed by the 'Rodina' party.
- The lawsuit was based on the absence of a stamp with official details on the initial version of the financial representative's power of attorney submitted by Yabloko.
- Yabloko submitted a corrected version of the document before the list was registered.
- The court ruled that the registration of Yabloko's list was unlawful and annulled it.
- Pskov is the only region where Yabloko is currently represented in the regional parliament and where its list was registered for elections.
- The 'Rodina' party previously succeeded in removing Yabloko's federal list from the State Duma elections.
- The Supreme Court of Russia upheld the decision to remove Yabloko's federal list on August 10, and confirmed it on August 17.
- Yabloko has been denied registration in Saint Petersburg and Karelia previously.
- Yabloko's Pskov branch has filed a counter-lawsuit to remove 'Rodina' from the elections, with a hearing scheduled for August 27.
