2/ #Davankov said that he wants to invite Boris #Nadezhdin, to include some of his theses in his election program, which will be presented on Feb 15.
#Nadezhdin's called the invasion of #Ukraine a mistake and called for peace talks, while also openly criticizing Vladimir #Putin, something other candidates have been hesitant to do. The Central Election Commission refused him, claiming that there were many defects in the signatures he collected.
3/ The final version of the list candidates, in addition to the incumbent President Putin, included only three nominees from parties in the State #Duma: Nikolai #Kharitonov from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Leonid #Slutsky from the Liberal Democratic Party and Vladislav #Davankov from the New People party.
None of them openly oppose #Putin, and the parties from which they were nominated supported a full-scale #Russian invasion of #Ukraine.
