TASHKENT, Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- Uzbekistan's Central Election Commission (CEC) has registered five candidates nominated by the country's five political parties for the upcoming presidential elections to be held on Oct. 24, the CEC said Tuesday.
The pre-election campaign for the presidential elections will start on Sept. 20, the CEC said in a statement.
Uzbekistan's incumbent President Shavkat Mirziyoyev was nominated earlier this month by the ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
Other presidential candidates include Bakhrom Abdukhalimov from the Adolat (Justice) Social Democratic Party, Alisher Kadirov from Milliy Tiklanish (National Revival) and Narzullo Oblomuradov from the Ecological Parties.
