Supporters of opposition figure Aleksey Navalny have endorsed him for president in the election scheduled for March 2018, and prepare to send his nomination to the election commission. <\/p>\n

The opposition activist won the initial support of 742 people at a gathering in Moscow, above the minimum 500 required to launch a presidential bid. At least 20 cities across the country hosted rallies in his support.<\/p>\n

Navalny wrote on his website that he was proud to have become the candidate \u201cfrom the whole of the country.\u201d<\/em> He tweeted that he and his supporters are currently taking the signatures to the Russian Central Election Commission.<\/p>\n

The opposition figure has called on his supporters to boycott the election if the authorities refuse to register him. The activist\u2019s participation in the election is in doubt, as Russian law stipulates that people convicted of crimes cannot run for president until 10 years after their sentence expires or is officially recognized as served.<\/p>\n

In 2014, Navalny was handed a five-year probation period for his role in a $500,000 embezzlement scheme involving the international cosmetics company Yves Rocher. In August, one year was added to that. In addition, Navalny is currently serving a five-year suspended term handed down in 2013 for a fraud scheme involving state-run timber company Kirovles.<\/p>\n

The opposition activist has repeatedly said that the law should only apply to custodial sentences, not suspended ones. However, senior Russian officials, such as head of the Central Elections Commission Ella Pamfilova, have dismissed these statements and say that Navalny has no chance of entering the 2018 presidential race.<\/p>\n
