00:00 Russian opposition politician Boris Nadezhdin says he will appeal the Electoral Commission's
00:07 decision to bar him from running in the upcoming presidential election.
00:12 The veteran politician says he submitted a lot more than the 100,000 signatures required
00:17 by the law to be allowed to stand.
00:19 But the commission says only some 95,000 were valid.
00:25 The commission says that the law is not valid.
00:30 The commission says that the law is not valid.
00:36 The commission says that the law is not valid.
00:41 The commission says that the law is not valid.
00:46 The commission says that the law is not valid.
00:51 The commission says that the law is not valid.
00:58 The commission says that the law is not valid.
01:03 Long lines of people queuing to sign their support for Nadezhdin, who's campaigning
01:07 against the war in Ukraine, was an indication of a perhaps surprising level of support.
01:12 Another anti-war candidate, Yekaterina Duntsova, was also rejected on faulty paperwork drawings.
01:19 Her appeal was dismissed by the Supreme Court and analysis expect Nadezhdin's will also
01:24 fail.
01:25 If it does, President Vladimir Putin will face no serious challenges in his bid to win
01:29 another seven-year term in office.
