Independent politician Yekaterina Duntsova wanted to run on a platform to end the war with Ukraine.
But the electoral commission voted unanimously to reject her candidacy three days after her application, citing 100 “mistakes” on her form.
Ms Duntsova said she would appeal the decision at the Supreme Court.
The commission said 29 people have so far filed to run for the presidency. But after today’s decision, Mr Putin remains the only candidate to be able to register as a candidate.
Mr Putin remains the only candidate to be able to register as a candidate.
He doesn’t even try to pretend anymore.
that insurrectionist trump so jelly rn
at least pull a Sisi and have some unknowns on the ballot.
The dragon laughs and whips his tail
Seems like Putin will get all 132% of the votes this time, since he will be the only one on the ballots.
Reporter: “Mr. Putin, how is it possible that you got 132% of the vote?”
Putin: “It is merely the byproduct of our superiour domestic mathematical sciences. The numbers are simply greater than the ones produced by foreign-made axioms. Do think of all of the great achievements our mathematicians have done over centuries, such as proving the Poincaré conjecture.”
Reporter: (gasp) “Your ballot results were tabulated by Grigori Perelman?”
Putin: “No, we looked at his qualifications but we figured he was out of our reach, unfortunately. We had the results tabulated by some other weird mathematician with a massive case of cabin fever. We saved a lot of taxpayer money this way.”You see, only 39% of the population voted. 95% of the people who voted, voted for Putin. So if you extrapolate that out to the entire population, you get 37% + 95% = 132%. With math like that you can’t lose!
In Soviet Russia, the election qualifies for you!
In America, voters choose president. In Soviet Russia, president chooses voters!
** Republicans vigorously taking notes ** 🤤
What a fucking coward.
it’s not like he’s not gonna rig the elections anyways
Where ya at, tankies?
They’re probably saying she’s a Nazi
Why would tankies defend this, Russia isn’t communist.
Neither are tankies.
Ah yes, “elections” in Russia for “president.” Coming soon to the US if Republicans get their way.
Cross the political candidate you wish to vote for: Putin [ ] Putin [ ]
I want to vote for Putin [ ]
I have no opinion [ ]
I prefer that upstart young firebrand, Mr. Nitup!

Typical. Next he’ll float the hope that he’s ready to negotiate.
Anyone notice how the news of Navalny disappearing just … disappeared as well?
Oh there’s still some stuff around. Seems like the Russian courts have cleared their schedules of all things Navalny. But, there isn’t a lot. Gone Baby Gone.
Not that I want that to drop out of the media circuit but there’s only so much to report on. How many different ways can you say a politician disappeared? Especially when the guy responsible is a dictator that simply won’t answer any questions regarding the person at hand.
wow i am just utterly shocked
Meh I’m glad I’m not Russian but hey man, people be crazy over there
Maybe she forgot the semicolon. Jokes aside I hope her appeal gets approved.
There generally aren’t happy endings for Russian leaders. So there’s that.
Another glorious day in Russia, home to the one person filling out application forms perfectly.
What a terrible and dangerous man the Putin is. He really wants Russia to win the war. The Putin wants Russia to become stronger and better for the russians. Man, can you imagine this? What a strange president.
Weird how he’s done the exact opposite of that for the past 20 years
Just like Biden who also fights Trump who’s also an anti-war cantidate.
He literally started a cold civil war in the US
100% of politically motivated killings last year were from the right (aka domestic terrorism)
Go ahead and try some shit in 2024, The national guard will turn you traitors into soup in the streets.
He literally started a cold civil war in the US
You’re literally wrong
Nah he’s right. You’re wrong.
Nah, I’m wright. He’s rong
Cry some more.
This anti-war candidate? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-54972269
No, another one
“Not like that!”
I wonder what it’s like to live in a country where one group tries to take the opposition off the ballot?
What a disingenuous comparison. This woman didn’t start an insurrection. This is like if Putin had prevented Prigozhin from running, which he would have been completely in his rights to.
Before shit had hit the fan with that failed coup I thought that Prigozhin would run for the president for real
I wonder what it’s like to live in a country where a bunch of idiots can’t see what a traitorous bastard their favorite fat ass bumbling bitch of a candidate is.
Oh they know. They still wave the flag of another failed attempt to split the nation. They’re all traitorous bastards.
Yeah, like the Republicans who brought the lawsuit in Colorado… cause ya know, that was Republicans trying to block trump.

Troll.
I wonder what it’s like to support a candidate who disqualifies himself by violating the Constitution he once swore to uphold?
The orange insurrectionist fucked around. Let him find out.
Tell me you failed civics class without telling me you failed civics class.
Hey, we could be like Russia in other ways and let a criminal run for president repeatedly.
That option seems to lurking just around the corner. Next year sure is going to be interesting 😢
Lol, anti war candidate in Usa banned, same in Russia. Two jokes of democracies.
