United Russia candidate stripped of seat in Kamensk-Uralsky
The Sinarsky District Court of Kamyshin-Uralsk on August 30 annulled the registration of United Russia candidate Eduard Chekhin for the city Duma election upon the lawsuit of a candidate from 'New People', lawyer Yulia Mayorova.
Consensus
- The Sinar District Court in Kamensk-Uralsky annulled the registration of United Russia candidate Eduard Cheishlyin for the city council election.
- The lawsuit was filed by Yulia Mayorova, a candidate from the party 'New People' and a lawyer.
- The reason for the court's decision was violations of campaign advertising rules in three campaign banners.
- The banners did not display the voting date occupying at least 3% of the area.
- The banners did not include the logo of the Central Election Commission.
- Cheishlyin and Mayorova were the main competitors in district No. 5.
- Cheishlyin has five days to appeal the court's decision.
- If the decision stands, Mayorova could become the leading candidate in the election.
