YAP STANDS FOR TRANSPARENT MUNICIPALITY ELECTIONS
Opening the sitting, YAP executive secretary, Milli Majlis deputy Ali Ahmadov dwelt on the measures taken by the Government towards setting up municipalities in Azerbaijan.
He also noted that YAP is interested in free, fair, democratic and transparent municipality elections. However, some destructive forces, according to him, realizing their imminent defeat try to mislead the public opinion on the elections. He said women and youth are not sufficiently represented in the present municipalities and, therefore, it is necessary to redress the imbalance in the next elections.
Speakers told of accomplishments in municipalities’ activity for the passed 5 years and importance of the right pre-election campaign.
Sitting participants noted that the next municipality elections would be conducted very freely and fairly as Azerbaijan has a perfect legislation to successfully conduct transparent elections.
