Pavel Grudinin, who won 12% of votes when he challenged Vladimir Putin in a 2018 presidential election, was excluded from a candidate list because the Prosecutor's Office had found he held shares in a foreign company, news agencies reported.
A recent opinion poll showed the Communists and other opposition parties could pose a threat to the dominance of Putin's United Russia party in the State Duma, Russia's lower house, in the upcoming election. The party's leader, Gennady Zyuganov, vowed to appeal the decision at the Supreme Court, the TASS agency reported.
Saturday's decision follows the disqualification of several opposition figures, mainly affiliated with jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny.
