Preliminary results of Russia’s regional elections show that all government-backed gubernatorial candidates are winning, but United Russia will no longer have a majority in the Tomsk City Duma.
Added: Former Governors Win.
Candidates from the pro-Kremlin United Russia lead the elections for Russian governors, the country’s Central Election Commission (CEC) said. Andrei Turchak, the party’s council secretary, said Sunday night that the “United Russia” candidates had won all the gubernatorial elections after the first round.
Interfax writes that the ruling party candidates are leading even in such “troubled” regions as Irkutsk, Arkhangelsk and Rostov, where the results of the gubernatorial elections raised the most questions. It is true that in some places very early results are presented, counting only a few or tens of percent of the newsletters.
The governor of Irkutsk province, Igor Kobzev, received 60.64% of the votes, with 80.76% of the ballots, reports the CRK.
Candidates for governor supported by “United Russia” also lead in those regions where their representatives did not participate: Smolensk and Perm.
Interfax notes that previous governors won the regional elections: Dmitry Machonin in Perm, Oleg Nikolayev in Chuvashia and Ivan Belozercev in Penza. With about half of the votes in Tatarstan, the current president of Tatarstan, Rustam Minichanov, is definitely in the lead (86.7% of the votes).
This year, the election of Russian governors is taking place in 18 regions, including the occupied Crimea Sevostopol.
In Tomsk, the government did not obtain a majority
However, in the Tomsk Duma (city hall), where Russian opposition leader Alexei Navaln was suspected of being poisoned, the ruling party did not get a majority: United Russia won 24.7% in the constituency of various members and won in nine of the 27 multi-member constituencies.
According to Interfax, United Russia will have 11 of the 37 deputies in the Tomsk Duma.
According to the preliminary results of the election, two candidates for the A. Navaln headquarters, Ksenija Fadejeva and Andrei Fatejev, went up in smoke.
Previously, United Russia had a majority in Tomsk: 21 seats out of 37.
