What happened

The Central Election Commission sees no grounds for overturning the decision to remove the Yabloko party from the elections to the State Duma, a commission official said in the Supreme Court, where Yabloko’s complaint is being considered.

Why it matters

"The grounds for removing a party from registration are any violations of the intellectual property law," the representative said.

Common ground
