Chechnya is prepared for presidential election scheduled for October, authorities claim

14 people expressed their intention to be candidates; they have to have registered as candidates by August 22. The Election Commission of Chechnya invited observers from the OSCE, the PACE, the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the Arab League, and other international organizations.

As Moscow Helsinki Group Chairwoman Lyudmila Alekseyeva announced at the press-conference in Moscow, the election campaign goes with breaches, in particular, there is an overt agitation for Akhmad Kadirov.
