[Moscow 9th Reuters]-In the unified local elections held in Russia on the 8th, it seems that the ruling party "Unified Russia", who supports President Putin in the city council election in Moscow, has reduced the seats by about one third.
According to a report from the RIA news agency on the 9th, the Moscow city council elections (constant number 45) are almost complete, and the unified Russia will win 26 seats and the majority will be maintained. In the 2014 election, 28 independent seats were won and 10 independent independent people were elected.
This time, the Communist Party increased the number of seats won from 5 to 13 in the form of taking seats from the unified Russia. In addition, the Russian Democratic Party “Jaboroko” and Fair Russia seem to have won three seats respectively.
A massive government protest took place in mid-July after the central election refused to register a critical independent candidate for the government.
Anti-Putin's pioneer, Alexei Nawalinui, who called for a demonstration, called on supporters to vote for the most likely candidate to win the unified Russia. It can be said that Mr. Nawalinui's call succeeded in the struggling ruling party in the Moscow City Council election.
