“United Russia” proved itself worthily during the election campaign and rightfully won the elections to the State Duma. This was stated by President Vladimir Putin in a video message to the participants of the plenary session of the third stage of the XX Congress of the party, the correspondent of RBC reports.
“I believe that United Russia has shown itself worthily in the rather difficult, in many ways extraordinary conditions of the election campaign, withstood a tough, open competition and won confidently, with a solid advantage, once again proving that it is rightfully the leader party, the party of people’s representation and parliamentary majority,” Putin said.
The Head of State called the party’s program constructive and creative.
The State Duma elections were held from September 17 to 19. According to their results, for the first time in almost 20 years, five, rather than four, parties entered the lower house of parliament. In addition to “United Russia”, the necessary threshold was overcome by the Communist Party, the Liberal Democratic Party, “Just Russia” For the Truth” and “New People”. “United Russia” has received 326 mandates and has an absolute majority.
