Russia is preparing for parliamentary elections scheduled to take place from September 18 to 20. According to France24, several candidates who had previously been cleared to run have been disqualified by Russian authorities.
The disqualifications were reportedly based on “dubious claims,” a statement that France24 reports as an allegation made by observers of the electoral process. The source does not provide specific details about the nature of these claims.
France24 notes that the ongoing war in Ukraine has heightened the Kremlin’s scrutiny of who is permitted to campaign, leading to a more cautious approach in vetting candidates for the upcoming election.
