Russia’s upcoming presidential elections will be held next year. The candidature of one candidate has already been cancelled. The candidate took a stand against Russia’s attack on Ukraine. On Sunday (December 24), the news agency Reuters reported this information.

According to the report, former TV journalist Ekaterina Dunstva was declared ineligible for the next presidential election on Saturday. He took a stand against President Vladimir Putin over the attack on Ukraine.

The members of the Central Electoral Commission voted to cancel his candidature. They say that there are numerous errors in the documents submitted by the candidate to contest the election.

Critics claim that he will not be allowed to stand against Vladimir Putin in the Russian presidential election in March next year. The country is going to hold elections for the first time since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It is actually a process of faking possible outcomes.

The Kremlin says Putin will win the popular vote again in the next election. He is likely to get 80 percent of the votes in the election.

Dunstva said in a telegram message that he will challenge the decision of the candidate in the Supreme Court. He also referred to this decision of the commission as undemocratic and injustice.

He said, through such political decisions, we have been deprived of the opportunity to represent ourselves and express ourselves. He also criticized the officials’ decision as aggressive.

Earlier, on December 8, a report of the state news agency informed that the presidential election of Russia is scheduled to be held in March next year. Current Russian President Vladimir Putin will compete in this election.

Putin said he would be elected president of Russia once more. In an election campaign, he expressed hope of a huge victory in the upcoming elections.

Of course, Putin’s announcement was expected. In 2020, the country’s constitution was amended to put him back in power. Through this amendment, Putin completed the process of staying in power until 2036. He has been the Prime Minister or President of Russia since 1999.

Putin ordered Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Then this election is very important. Because the country is going to hold a presidential election for the first time since the start of the operation in Ukraine.

Nikolai Petrov, an analyst at the German Institute for International Security Affairs, said this is not really an election. Re-election of the same leadership. He is competing with himself in this election. Through this election, he will show that he is not worse off than he was 25 years ago.
