Azerbaijani courts grant 10 appeals related to parliamentary elections

Azerbaijani Supreme Court has granted five appeals made by candidates over the parliamentary elections, Chairman Ramiz Rzayev told journalists today. The Appeals Court also granted the appeals of five other candidates in the run-up to the elections. As a result, they were able to take part in the elections, Rzayev said.

Azerbaijan held the parliamentary elections Nov. 7. The voter turnout hit about 50.14 percent (roughly 2.48 million voters) in Azerbaijan, the Central Election Commission (CEC) Elections Information Center reported.

The CEC reported that 690 candidates are running for the parliamentary elections. The Supreme Court has not yet received appeals after the parliamentary elections due to the fact that the CEC has not announced official results.
