The Balti District Electoral Council registered four more competitors in the November 5 mayoral election in Balti. These are Victoria Șapa, of the Chance Party, Alexandr Nesterovschi, of the Revival Party, and independent candidates Arina Korshikova and Marina Kravchenko, IPN reports.

The Council is still examining the documents presented by Sergiu Popovici, of the Coalition for Unity and Wellbeing, and the files of the last four aspirants: Alexandr Petkov of the Our Party; Anastasia Svetlichnyi of the Alternative and Moldova Salvation Force; Mark Tkachuk of the Common Action - Civic Congress Party, and Nicolai Grigorishin of the Party of Change.
The number of signatures presented by Ion Ciobanu, who intended to run as an independent candidate, wasn’t sufficient to register him as a contender for the mayoralty. As a result, at most 15 candidates will compete for the post of mayor of the municipality of Balti on November 5.
