SRZP and LDPR distributed vacated mandates in the State Duma – Kommersant

The mandates of State Duma deputies Vadim Belousov (A Just Russia – For Truth, SRZP) and Vasily Vlasov (LDPR), deprived of their powers for absenteeism, will be transferred to the deputy of the Kirov Region Legislative Assembly Olesya Redkina and the deputy of the Trans-Baikal Territory parliament, ex-State Duma deputy Vasilina Kulieva, respectively. Party leaders Sergei Mironov and Leonid Slutsky told reporters about this on Tuesday.

The head physician of the Kirov Infectious Diseases Clinical Hospital, Olesya Redkina, was second (following Vadim Belousov) in regional group No. 16 (Udmurtia, Kirov region) of the federal list of SRHR. She served in the Kirov parliament for the first convocation, and before that she headed the Kirov city hospital No. 2, the city health department, the regional geriatric center and the regional AIDS center. Ms. Redkina has already announced that she intends to join the Duma Committee on Health.

In turn, the LDPR decided to transfer Vasily Vlasov’s mandate to former State Duma deputy Vasilina Kulieva, who, according to Mr. Slutsky, “showed unique results in the last elections in September.” The LDPR list, where Ms. Kuliyeva was number two after the party leader, received 15.64% of the votes in the elections to the regional legislative assembly and took second place.

Vasilina Kulieva was first elected to the State Duma in December 2011, but a year later she resigned early in order, according to her, to focus on the gubernatorial campaign in the region. In 2016, she entered the seventh convocation of the Duma in the Daursky single-mandate constituency of Transbaikalia, receiving 44.13% of the votes, and became a member of the Committee on Family, Women and Children. In 2021, the deputy tried to be re-elected for a new term in the same constituency, but took only fourth place with 15.55% of the votes.
