We have no funds for municipal elections campaigning through media: Azerbaijani opposition party

“We will start preparations for the election campaign as soon as registration of candidates completes. Nearly 400 members of our party has already been registered,” Mustafa said.

“Surely we are not able to get free election campaign in the media, because our party will not nominate candidates for half of the municipalities in the country. Though we do not have enough funds to buy time in media our candidates we will still seek campaigning through the media,” he said.

“We plan to spend about 3,000 manats. About 700-800 manat has already been spent for  registration of candidates and other procedures. This sum also includes campaigning of candidates in the media. We have no opportunity to stage wide range of activities as part of the election campaign,” he said.

Azerbaijan will hold municipal elections on Dec. 23. The candidates will contest 15,682 places in 1,718 municipalities.
