In the upcoming elections in Russia, a high-profile contest is about to begin. The incumbent Putin ran overwhelmingly, but his opponent Najriddin, a candidate with an anti-war stance, is attracting a large amount of popular support.
As the incumbent Russia, Putin is supported by the Kremlin, which makes his chances of winning the election seem high. However, for the rise of Najriddin, the anti-war candidate, Putin's domineering may be challenged to a certain extent.
Nadezhdin's call for an immediate ceasefire and negotiations with Ukraine has won the support of a large number of people, especially in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other large cities, where there are long queues of people who sign in support of Nadezhdin, showing people's recognition and expectation of him.
However, Najriddin still has to overcome a number of hurdles to overcome in order to become an official candidate. According to Russia's electoral law, he needs to pass a review and collect a large number of signatures before he can officially run for election. While he has collected enough signatures, more than 5% of them are "ineligible" that could call into question his candidacy for nomination.
Najriddin's anti-war stance was undoubtedly a bright spot in this high-profile election. Although Putin is expected to win, the appearance of Nadezhdin may have a certain impact on Russian politics. His persistence and efforts have made people rethink the future direction of Russia and provided voters with more choices.
Regardless of the final outcome of the election, this election is bound to spark attention and discussion. Whether Najriddin's anti-war stance will be able to shake the incumbent **, let's wait and see the final outcome of this political feast.
