GROZNY. Oct 8 (Interfax) - Ten political parties have nominated candidates to run in the Chechen parliamentary elections, due to be held on November 27, 2005, said Chechen Elections Commission Chairman Ismail Baikhanov. A total of 265 people are standing for election to the parliament as of October 8, including 65 planning to run for Council of the Republic mandates and 200 for the People\'s Assembly, Baikhanov told Interfax on Saturday. \"Some have already been registered as candidates,\" Baikhanov said. \"Roza Isayeva, the widow of Chechen State Council Chairman Hussein Isayev, who was tragically killed at the Dynamo stadium, has pledged a deposit and has been registered as a candidate in the Shatoi electoral district,\" he said. \"There are a lot of politicians and figures from science and the arts well-known in Chechnya and throughout Russia among the candidates,\" he said. Chechen singer Tamara Dadasheva has also declared her desire to run, he said. \"The electoral campaign is proceeding amidst a generally calm atmosphere,\" Baikhanov said. Despite a public statement made by the leaders of the Rodina party that former Chechen Deputy Prime Minister Bislan Gantamirov would head the party list at the elections, \"Rodina has submitted its roll, and Gantamirov\'s name does not appear on it,\" he said. The Chechen parliament is to be bicameral - the People\'s Assembly, which will be comprised of 20 deputies elected from party lists and 20 others elected in single-mandate electoral districts, and the Council of the Republic, in which each of the 18 deputies will represent one of the Chechen districts.
