Civic Solidarity Party Chairman and presidential candidate Sabir Rustamkhanli lodged a formal protest on 27 August with Azerbaijan\'s Central Election Commission after electricity was cut off the previous day to several southern regions during his televised election campaign broadcast. Rustamkhanli said he believes the cuts were deliberate as the Azerbaijani authorities are aware that he enjoys strong support in the south of the country.
