11 February 2006 [10:30] - TODAY.AZ
"Although composition of Central Election Commission was not formed completely, there is no problem with the activity of the commission", Chairman of Central Election Commission (CEC) Mazahir Panahov told journalists.

He said that under the legislation, the commission can function with two third of its members. Saying 13 of 18 members of the commission work now, Mazahir Panahov noted the decision of the parliament to remain 5 vacancies is correct: "Re-run elections will be held in 10 constituencies on May 13 and if the current staff is changed, new parties can be elected to the parliament. If the composition of CEC were completely formed, it will violate the rights of the parties to be elected to the parliament as a result of reelections."

According to him, despite the accusations of opposition, formation of CEC is legal, APA informs.
