Head of the SPS faction in the State Duma Boris Nemtsov
and Deputy Head of the Yabloko faction Sergei Ivanenko
forwarded, together with a number of
other deputies a collective application to the Chairman
of the Supreme
Court
Vyacheslav Lebedev, requesting that he consider the
complaint of the
present
governor of Kursk Region, Alexander Rutskoi, by November
5 (the date of
the
second round of the gubernatorial election in the
region).
The Kursk Regional Court removed Rutskoi from the
elections only several
hours before actual voting in the first round, after
deciding that
Rutskoi
had committed a number of violations of the law.
In particular, the court found that the information
supplied by Rutskoi
on
his personal property was untrue and also asserted
that he used his post
for
personal benefit during the election campaign.
On Thursday Rutskoi forwarded a complaint to the
Supreme Court of the
RF.
A group of the Duma deputies from the SPS and the
Yabloko factions and
other
deputies notified the Chairman of the Supreme Court
in their letter that
the
SPS faction had officially submitted to the Duma a
draft law on
amendments
to the present laws, to prevent developments in the
Kursk region being
repeated at other federal and regional elections in
the future.
Based on Interfax reports.
