MOSCOW. Sept 13 (Interfax) - The Yabloko Party, the Russian
Communist Party and other representatives of Committee 2008, including
Irina Khakamada, Sergei Ivanenko
and Yevgeny Kiselyov, are preparing to demand that the Russian Supreme
Court annul the results of the latest elections to the State Duma.
"Lawyers of the Independent Election Institute, the Communist Party and
Yabloko drafted a lawsuit to be filed at the Russian Supreme Court, and
Committee 2008 sponsored the drafting. I think we will file the lawsuit
at the end of this week," Yabloko Deputy Chairman Sergei
Mitrokhin told Interfax on Monday. He said the Russian Central Elections
Committee would be the defendant.
"The goal of the lawsuit is to have the results of the Fourth State
Duma
election declared invalid as well as to cancel the Central Elections
Commission protocols and resolutions on the distribution of parliament
mandates," he said.
