Supreme court dismissed Russian opp leader Navalny's plea- Election

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny's appeal in Supreme court against the orders of central elction commission which barred him from taking part in next presidential election, was dismissed.

His appeal was dismissed by Russian Supreme Court on Saturday.

Navalny who has called for boycot of vote, after the election commission order, is on the same stand now.
He wrote on Twitter that he and his supporters "will not recognise elections without competition" and renewed calls for a boycott of the vote.

Polls indicate that President Vladimir Putin, who has dominated Russia’s political landscape for 18 years, is on course to be comfortably re-elected, but Navalny says election without opposition is not countable.
