“The right to appeal to a court the refusal to register as a candidate for the presidency of the Republic of Belarus is granted by law only to a person who is nominated as a candidate for the presidency of the Republic of Belarus,” the court ruling quoted by RIA Novosti says.
The court’s decision notes that Babariko himself “did not appeal the decision of the Central Commission and did not sign the complaint to the Supreme Court,” and on behalf of him the appeal was filed by the headquarters lawyer Maxim Znak.
“The signing of such a complaint by the representative of the person nominated as a candidate for the presidency of the Republic of Belarus is not provided for by the electoral law,” the court added.
They emphasized that the decision comes into force immediately, is not subject to appeal and appeal.
Earlier, the headquarters of Babariko announced their intention to appeal the refusal of the CEC to register it for the presidential election.
On July 14, the CEC of Belarus registered five candidates for the presidential election, and some, in particular Babariko, refused to register.
In early July, Babariko was charged under three articles of the Criminal Code of Belarus.
