The YABLOKO party participates in local and municipal elections
in 15 Russia’s regions: Astrakhan, Voronezh, Kirov, Lipetsk,
Tula, Omsk, Pskov, Rostov, Tver, Chelyabinsk regions, Krasnoyarsk,
Perm and Khabarovsk areas, the Moscow region and St.Petersburg.
Chair of YABLOKO’s branch in the Khabarovsk area Igor Khovansky
runs at parliamentary elections in the Khabarovsk area from
YABLOKO.
YABLOKO’s activists also compete for the posts of heads
of two large municipal entities: Igor Pershin runs for the
Mayor of Shakhti, the Rostov region, and Sergei Parvitsky
runs for the post of the head of the Shatura municipal area,
the Moscow region.
57 members of YABLOKO compete for 48 parliamentary mandates
in the Tula city parliament. YABLOKO’s list is topped by
Sergei Filatov, the present deputy of the city Duma.
A heated campaign has developed in the Pskov region. YABLOKO’s
candidates run in 12 municipal areas of the region.
However, electoral commissions of the Kaluga and Sverdlovsk
regions refused to register YABLOKO in the campaigns to
regional parliaments on faked pretexts.
