Andrei Ponomaryov, leader of the Bryansk branch of YABLOKO
was nominated by the conference of the regional party branch
to run in the gubernatorial elections due on October 14, 2012.
The next step for registration in the election campaign should
be overcoming of a municipal filter: the nominees have to
get support from municipal deputies and heads of municipal
districts. According to the law adopted by the regional legislative
assembly (Duma), the municipal filter amounts to a 7 per
cent threshold in the Bryansk Region.
According to Ponomaryov, he can overcome the threashold.
Also the present Governor of the region Nikolai Denin has
assured all the candidates to the gubernatorial post that
the administrative resource would not be used against them.
Next week we will learn if it is true, when I begin collection
of voters signatures in my support, noted Ponomaryov. The
required signatures have to be collected by August 26.
The present Governor Nikolai Denin was nominated to run in
the elections from the ruling United Russia party. Other candidates
are Vadim Potomsky from the Communist Party, Vyacheslav Rudnikov
from the Just Russia party and Mikhail Marchenko from LDPR.

has been head of the Bryansk branch of YABLOKO also since
1995. Ponomaryov has many times took posts in the ruling bodies
of the party.
