BELARUSIAN OPPOSITION ALLIANCE VOWS TO FIELD PARLIAMENTARY CANDIDATES IN EACH DISTRICT



The opposition parties constituting the Popular Coalition Five Plus ? the Belarusian Popular Front, the Belarusian Party of Labor, the United Civic Party, the Belarusian Social Democratic Assembly, and the Belarusian Party of Communists (PKB) ? are going to ensure that their common candidate is on the ballot in each of the country's 110 districts for the 17 October legislative elections, Belapan reported on 15 July. PKB leader Syarhey Kalyakin told journalists that Five Plus will field two candidates in each district so that the first-choice nominee can be replaced by the back-up one if needed. According to Kalyakin, Five Plus's parties will not have any candidate quotas, and nominees will be selected solely on the basis of their popularity in each particular district. The same day the Central Election Commission approved the borders of all 110 electoral districts. The average number of registered voters in one district is nearly 65,000.
