COP as a pretext - voting when it suits Aliyev
The next parliamentary elections in Azerbaijan should actually have been held in November, but President Ilham Aliyev decided otherwise and brought them forward to September 1. The reason given was that the original election date would clash with the UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) organized by Azerbaijan in November.
The Constitutional Court, which is controlled by the regime, confirmed the postponement. This is the third consecutive election that will not take place on the originally planned date. For the opposition, this means a shortened campaign period, which exacerbates the existing challenges in the electoral process.
