Belousov decided to advance to the mayor of Himki
The head of the Khimkinsky branch of Yabloko, Igor Belousov, decided to participate in the election of the mayor of the city, despite the fact that the party officially supported the leader of the movement in defense of the Khimki forest, Yevgeny Chirikov, reports Lenta.ru. According to the politician, he will go to the elections either as a self -nominated or from another party. He noted that such proposals have already been received from political organizations.
Belousov refused to tell which parties offered him a nomination. At the same time, he emphasized that he himself asked the leader of the party Sergei Mitrokhin to support Evgeny Chirikov. “I came to Mitrokhin and suggested that they support Chirikov. I think that it would be more fair, since they worked together for many years on different promotions,” the politician said.
Earlier, Yabloko was going to nominate Belousov, who took second place after Vladimir Strelchenko in Khimki in Khimki in 2009. Chirikova then became the third and tried through the court to achieve the abolition of the results of the elections. After the resignation of Strelchenko, early elections are scheduled for October 14.
Mitrokhin before that did not rule out the nomination of a single opposition candidate in Khimki elections. At the same time, he accused the State Duma deputy from Fair Russia Ilya Ponomarev that he was working for a candidate from United Russia Oleg Shakhov. “We do not exclude that after the nomination of all opposition candidates, depending on which of them is registered, we will consult a united candidate,” Mitrokhin said. “But as for Ponomarev’s statements, it seems that he consciously works for Shakhov, urging the opposition to nominate one candidate, so that he is easier to prevent the elections.” Mitrokhin estimated the probability of "weming" opposition candidates at registration at 90 percent.
Chirikova will go to the elections by a self-nominated man, she will have to collect 800 signatures, the head of her headquarters Nikolai Lyaskin said earlier at a press conference. Party candidates are exempted from collecting signatures in regional elections in accordance with the amendments to the election legislation signed by Dmitry Medvedev at the end of his presidential term.
The leader of the Green Alliance - People's Party Oleg Mitnol is going to take part in the election. He has not yet officially announced his nomination.
The Communist Party, the LDPR and the Fair Russia announced their intention to nominate their own candidates for the post of mayor of Khimki. The Communists promised to unveil the name of their candidate until the middle of the next week. "The LDPR nominates the State Duma deputy Maxim Rochmistrov." No Chirikova would pass. We will fight Chirikova to death, ”said the leader of the LDPR Vladimir Zhirinovsky on Wednesday.
The Socialist -Revolutionaries will determine the candidate during the regional party conference, said Alexander Romanovich, leader of the just just Russia branch. According to him, the option of supporting Chirikova as a single candidate from the opposition is not considered.
The Party of the "right case" has not yet decided to nominate its candidate. "At the moment, consultations on this issue are being included in the party. We are ready to put forward our candidates for the elections. But we must understand how rationally it will be. The issue is being discussed," the press service of the "right business" said. "Perhaps we will support another worthy candidate."
Chirikova announced her nomination on Sunday at the gathering of activists in the Khimki forest. The head of Rospila, who spoke there, Alexei Navalny called on her to take part in the elections. "Khimkim needs a new mayor - not a representative of the opposition, but a representative of the whole people," Navalny said. According to Chirikova, she made a “difficult decision” to participate in the elections because people trust her and ask to represent their interests. She promised to solve the transport problem of the city and turn Khimki into a scientific center. “I hope the revival of our country will begin from this city,” Chirikova said.

The Governor Sergei Shoigu promised to hold "Very Clean Elections" in Khimki. “Believe me, we have people stopped in clean elections,” he said. Last week, Strelchenko filed an application for care after a meeting with Shoigu.

According to official results, Chirikova gained 15.5 percent of the vote, losing Strelchenko and Belousov.
