Two hundred candidates to run for Senate in autumn

Two hundred candidates will run for the seats in the Senate elections this autumn, in which one third of the Senate - 27 of the 81 Senators - are to be replaced. The deadline for the registration of the candidates expired on Friday. Altogether 31 parties and movements have fielded their candidates. Only three parties, the Civic Democrats, the Social Democrats and the Communists have fielded their candidates in all 27 constituencies. Out of the 27 senators whose mandate expires in the autumn, 20 will seek re-election.
