English Language Page received by the Moscow Helsinki Group by telephone from candidates and their representatives Abdulla Bugaev, a presidential candidate in the Chechen Republic: “I express my doubts about the objectivity of the polls. My observers have made an excursion by the route East — West. Also, not all our observers could receive permissions, and not in all districts: in Shali, Gudermes, Urus-Martan, Nadtyerechny. In the Shali district all constituencies were closed down after 7 p.m. To be sure, at 20–30 minutes before 8 p.m. All ballot boxes were transported to the administration building on armoured carriers. Our observers were not allowed to fulfill their function. Our observers did not get access in the district of Urus-Martan. We have all reasons to suppose that these instructions have been given by the heads of territorial election commissions. In my native Nadtyerechnyj district I have received 350 votes. The main opponent — 27,000 votes. The other candidates — 5–10 votes. We have [constituencies. — ed.] where there have been a 100% voters’ activity and 100% voting for Kadyrov. In the constituency #66 [Bekart-Yurtovsk precinct election commission] from 1,016 ballots are 1,016 for Kadyrov. In the constituency #95, 1,371 ballots out of 1,371 are for Kadyrov.” Sharip Fatuev, authorized representative person of the presidential candidate Shamil Buraev, was an observer in the Achkhoi-Martan district: “There have been lots of violations. Observers were positioned in a way that they could not see ballot boxes, particularly the moment of receiving and putting of ballots into them. There have been violations everywhere. It was difficult to find a place where everything could have happened without violations. Nobody guaranteed working conditions for observers. We could not normalize the situation. The acts on violations, which we prepared, were not signed [by the heads of precinct election commissions — Ed.].” Back |
