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.

      I wonder if he even knows about her. Guy’s like stuck in the ninghties, and everything he gets is in printed papers. There’s a doubt someone even said to him she exists.

      And defenestration is too far in her roadmap, still. She didn’t even said any ugly words like ‘war’, or even ‘lustration’. Duntsova has much to do to claim her out-of-the-window voyage. And, still, got denied.
