Victor Pertu, the candidate of the “Home Democracy” Party for the position of mayor of Orhei municipality, has been excluded from the electoral race. The Central Electoral Commission found his active involvement in the activities of the former political party “Sor”, reports IPN.<\/p>\n\n
The decision was made following a request submitted by Sergiu Stanciu, the candidate of the Action and Solidarity Party for the position of mayor of Orhei municipality, who requested the cancellation of Victor Pertu’s registration. The complaint invoked the existence of a disguised electoral block between the Democracy at Home Party and the party declared unconstitutional, “Sor”.<\/p>\n\n
According to the Commission, the activity of supporting the political formation took place both before and after the declaration of unconstitutionality of the “Sor” party, including involvement in actions of parties considered successors.<\/p>\n\n
Also, the CEC has examined the video materials presented by the challenger and concluded that the messages and visual elements included indicate the candidate’s connections with the party declared unconstitutional. Furthermore, following the analysis of the list of campaign volunteers, individuals were identified who have political affiliation with the parties from the self-proclaimed political bloc “Victory”. The electoral authority emphasized that these elements suggest the existence of a disguised electoral bloc.<\/p>\n\n
Consequently, the CEC has annulled the decision of the Orhei district electoral council regarding the registration of the “Democracy at Home” Party candidate for the local elections on May 17.<\/p>\n\n
The President of the “Home Democracy” Party, Vasile Costiuc, stated that the CEC’s decision is abusive and will be contested in the Court of Appeal within the legal term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
