Former so-called Minister of the Interior of occupied Abkhazia Leonid Dzapshba has submitted the application to run for the so-called presidential by-elections scheduled for March 22.

According to Dzapshba, he will create the ruling team not of personal bias, but based on professional merits. Dzapshba said that he is a supporter of the urgent adoption of an anti-corruption law before the so-called presidential election in occupied Abkhazia.

Leonid Dzapshba already participated in the “presidential election” in Abkhazia in 2014 and 2019.

Prior to this, the leader of the so-called opposition Aslan Bzhania expressed a desire to run for the so-called presidential election. So-called presidential candidates of occupied Abkhazia will have to pass an exam in the Abkhaz language.

On January 10, the so-called Supreme Court of Abkhazia declared the results of the second round of the presidential election and the decision of the court of the first instance illegal.

So-called by-elections in Russian-occupied Abkhazia will be held on March 22.
