The National Independence Party of Azerbaijan supports the idea of reducing the number of municipalities and enhancing their powers instead, spokesman for the party Ali Orujev said.
According to him, the party will participate in the elections and pays great attention to municipalities.

"The party welcomes the idea of the elimination of small municipalities that do not hold significant activity and are unable to take any decisions. At the same time, we support enhancement of the social role and status of municipalities. The party is preparing proposals on municipalities which will be made public soon", noted Orujev.

The spokesman also noted that the party is currently selecting potential candidates to participate in the elections.
