A candidate requires a platform to promote themselves and positive media coverage in order to compete in the elections.
Since the oligarchs own the media, they decide which candidates what coverage and which candidates to ignore.
The funding for the campaigns is also largely provided by the oligarchs in form of "donations".
In short, the oligarchs are the ones who determine the pool of candidates by exercising control over the media and funding.
