Duma deputies Vladivostok majority appointed date for the election of the mayor of the seaside capital. They will, as expected, in a single day of voting — the second Sunday in September, that is, the 8th. «Against» vote seven Communists and members of the Liberal Democratic Party.
Consequently, the campaign will begin soon — de facto, however, already begun. The acting head of Vladivostok Igor Pushkarev long does not hide his intentions to remain at the helm of yet another five-year period, although with a slight coquetry notices that in fact, «the mayor wants to not work» because it is «thankless job.» The Communists are likely nominated City Duma deputy Oleg Velgodskogo (first mentioned the names of the deputies AP Bespalov and Samson, but then in the communist camp was split). Party primaries, «United Russia» Alexei Kletskin — former deputy prosecutor of Vladivostok, former chief of staff BUT Big Stone, known for his demonstrative way out of the «ER» — withdrew from the primaries, saying that they are undemocratic and non-transparent, and promised to go to the mayors independently. It is possible that self comes out and MP Victoria AP Nikolaev — the sister of ex-mayor of Vladivostok Nikolayev, who acted as a primary.
If we talk about the ex-mayors, the Vladivostok has been seen Victor Shards, who intends to go to the polls on the «Green Alliance» (the party «Freedom and democracy,» he failed to register). On his ambitions and said another former mayor — Yuri Kopylov.
Among the «non-system» — the chief editor of the newspaper «People\’s Chamber» Maria Solov\’enko twice to embarrass Putin and now plans to go to the mayors of the Republican Party of Russia.
There are other party nominees: implacable opposition from Nicholas Markovtsev «Apple», the City Duma deputy Andrei Andreychenko of the Liberal Democratic Party, etc. But so bright clip candidates only gives the appearance of a busy political struggle. A few months ago the Electoral Code of Primorsky Krai with the filing of United Russia deputies adopted an amendment that the heads of the municipal elections in Primorye will be held in one round. This dramatically raises the chances of the incumbent Pushkarev, as the first and only round of voting «dissenters» razderbanit rivals, and form a bloc would not be possible. It is no accident AP deputies from the Communist Party, tried to resist the adoption of the amendment, called it sharpened it was under this chapter.
