Azerbaijan: Statement of preliminary findings and conclusions on the 15 October 2008 presidential election, IOM (2008)

The presidential election in the Republic of Azerbaijan was called for 15 October 2008, as required by constitutional provisions. The elections marked considerable progress toward meeting OSCE and Council of Europe commitments and other international standards but did not meet all commitments. The election process was carried out in a peaceful manner, but was characterized by a lack of robust competition and of vibrant political discourse facilitated by media, and thus did not reflect all the principles of a meaningful and pluralistic democratic election. Regrettably, some opposition parties boycotted the election, citing longstanding obstacles to equal opportunities, thus further limiting the scope for a credible choice for the electorate.
