United Russia received a qualified majority at all levels of elections for the first time

United Russia won a “convincing overall victory” in the last elections, said Andrei Turchak, secretary of its General Council. According to him, party observers did not record any serious violations.

“At all levels – at the regional level, at the level of regional, republican centers – United Russia for the first time received a qualified majority everywhere. This is two-thirds, which allows us to make any decisions at the level of the region and its capital. In the elections at the level of legislative assemblies and administrative centers, we took more than 80% of the mandates,” said Mr. Turchak (quoted by TASS).

The head of the General Council emphasized that United Russia has improved its results everywhere compared to 2018, and in a number of regions – with a double result. “This happened in the Irkutsk region, where in the elections to the legislative assembly we received more than 54.5% of the list and took 21 out of 22 single-mandate constituencies. The Khabarovsk Territory had a difficult electoral history. Over the past five years, we have done a lot of work on bugs. The work of the regional branch of the party was restarted from the primary branches. This made it possible to regain the trust of voters,” Mr. Turchak emphasized.

Separately, he noted the gubernatorial elections in the Kemerovo, Pskov and Smolensk regions: “There, our candidates Sergei Tsivilev, Mikhail Vedernikov and Vasily Anokhin received more than 85% of the votes.”

Elections in Russia from September 8 to 10 were held in 85 regions. Direct elections of senior officials were held in 21 regions, and elections of deputies to legislative bodies were held in 20 subjects. IN Moscow incumbent mayor Sergei Sobyanin won with 76.39%. in at least 13 more regions won current governors.
