Sverdlovsk Region Court Bars Yabloko From Regional Assembly Race
- On Friday, the Sverdlovsk Regional Court disqualified the liberal Yabloko party's candidate list from upcoming regional assembly elections, following a lawsuit filed by the Liberal Democratic Party alleging multiple campaign violations.
- The LDPR complaint cited Yabloko for using banned platforms like Facebook and Instagram, utilizing intellectual property like Sberbank logos without permission, and spending funds outside official channels.
- Konstantin Kiselyov, who leads Yabloko's Sverdlovsk list, argued that other parties also use these banned networks; despite the regional ban, Yabloko's press service confirmed candidates remain in the race for 18 single-mandate districts.
- This decision marks the fifth region where Yabloko's candidate lists have been barred from regional assembly races, following Russia's Supreme Court ruling last week that rejected the party's final appeal against a nationwide ban from State Duma elections.
- Yabloko's Yekaterinburg branch announced plans to appeal the court ruling, as the party faces the risk of losing its official registration due to legal requirements to field candidates in at least 20% of regional assembly elections every seven years.
