Election law prohibited incumbent President Vladislav Ardzinba from running for a third term and he instead backed Prime Minister Raul Khadjimba , who also enjoyed support by Russian authorities. Khadjimba's main opponent was Sergei Bagapsh , the candidate supported by the two major opposition parties United Abkhazia and Amtsakhara , and later also by Aitaira when their candidate Alexander Ankvab was barred from running in a controversial decision by the Central Election Commission.The results of the elections were heavily contested and split Abkhazian society in two. Bagapsh and his supporters claimed that he had obtained a narrow 50.08 % majority, thus removing the need for a second round, whereas Khadjimba claimed that he had received a plurality and that a run-off was necessary. The Central Election Commission issued several conflicting rulings and the stand-off lasted for two months until on 5 December, Bagapsh and Khadjimba agreed to share power as President and Vice President respectively.Candidates Pro
