According to the CEC, the announcement by registered political parties of participation or non-participation in the elections and forming coalitions is another process from the application for certified new political subjects and handing over the candidate list for MPs.

According to Elez, the deadline for application for the certificate of new political subjects (coalitions, civic initiatives and independent candidates) has started on May 2nd and will be completed 10th. Under the General Election Law, the political party is considered automatically certified, so this process will only apply to new political subjects, which in this case are coalitions, civic initiatives and independent candidates.

Meanwhile, according to him, handing over the candidate list for MPs from political subjects (political parties, coalitions, civic initiatives and independent candidates) has started on May 2nd and will end on May 12th 2026. /Periscope
