Russia’s Central Election Commission (CEC) has rejected 15 percent of the signatures submitted by anti-war presidential hopeful Boris Nadezhdin in his candidacy application, according to Nadezhdin’s campaign headquarters. To qualify as a candidate, no more than five percent of the signatures can contain errors.

“We have a 15.348% invalidity rate; we have two sleepless nights ahead,” wrote Igor Artemyev, a representative of Nadezhdin, on his Telegram channel.

Nadezhdin said he was planning to fight to get at least a portion of the signatures rejected by the CEC declared valid, adding that his team needed to recover “about 4,500 signatures out of the 9,209 that were declared invalid.”

If the CEC refuses to register him, Nadezhdin said he would appeal the decision to the Russian Supreme Court.

On February 7, the CEC will officially announce a decision on Nadezhdin’s candidacy in Russia’s presidential elections.
