Yarina dunova has been barred from running against Russian President Vladimir Putin in next year's election The 40-Year-Old former television host submitted her candidacy a few days ago but the Electoral commission disqualified her on Saturday citing alleged mistakes she made during the application process donova had planned To run as an independent on a platform to end the war in Ukraine and release political prisoners DW correspondent Jennifer pker has more on the alleged mistakes that led to the disqualification of DSA well there are technically speaking two different versions why she was barred from registering as an official Candidate the first is of course the official version and there is a non-official version let's talk about the official version First and that stated that there were some issues with her paperwork members of the election commission the central Election Commission in Russia said that it appeared to them that the appliation and The paperwork was filled out with haste and very UNC carefully and therefore it did not adhere to Legal standards so they had to Bar her from registering according to the telegram Channel as no there were around 100 type typos typing erors and also other mistakes that led To her not registering as a candidate but of course there's also the unofficial or the non-official version and experts say that the kin simply did not want to let her register as she could become very popular very quickly especially with things not going according to plan for Putin in Ukraine And therefore the risk for the Kremlin to let her register and gather more support because she is as we know a candidate that wants peace and release political prisoners was simply a risk that Kremlin was not willing to take a couple dozen typos is a lot for a Journalist now some critics had said she may have been a fake candidate for Putin to play off of but it now sounds like she posed a problem for Putin competition wise well it could sound that way at least in the beginning there were things or people and some even experts said That she was a spoiler candidate that uh she was like a puppet by the Kremlin but we noticed that it wasn't the case because just a few minutes after she made her election c campaign public on Telegram and asked for money the bank uh closed off her account and she wasn't Able to receive any transfers into the account and also when she was meeting with her in a her support group in a a venue in Moscow there were some uh electrical failers and she was simply not able to go through the whole process as it was supposed to be of course they Used generators and got the electricity running again and what was also interesting that there were like some Accord in addition to the security forces that were there there were also police officers who who were very friendly but who kept a close eye on what Yoo was talking about also the host Of this uh program of this meeting said that journalists were not allowed to ask any political questions which of course may appear that she was definitely way more problematic from the for the Kremlin okay interesting insights there from DW's Jennifer P in rioo that's
