Parliamentary election results confirm that allies of Russian President Vladimir Putin comfortably won the majority of seats. Russia's ruling United Russia party are the confirmed winners of Sunday's parliamentary polls, giving the allies of President Vladimir Putin control of the lower house of parliament, or Duma. United Russia won 54.2 percent of votes, while the Communist Party came second with 13.3 percent. The Liberal Democratic Party was third at 13.1, followed by the Fair Russia Party, which got 6.2 percent of the votes. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev's United Russia party will hold 343 out of 450 seats in the State Duma. The Communist Party will be represented by 42 deputies, while the Liberal Democratic Party, and Fair Russia Party will have 39 and 23 seats, respectively. The Motherland Party and Civic Platform party will have one seat each. There will also be an independent deputy. The vote results reaffirm Putin's approval ratings, which remain high at around 80 percent, while authorities appear to be banking on trouble-free presidential elections in two years. On Sunday night, Putin said that the win showed voters still trusted the leadership despite an economic slowdown made worse by Western sanctions over the Russian annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. "We can say with certainty that the party has achieved a very good result; it's won," Putin said at the United Russia headquarters, where he arrived together with his ally, Dmitry Medvedev, who is prime minister and the party's leader. Referring to the retrogressive economy, Putin said: "We know that life is hard for people, there are lots of problems, lots of unresolved problems. Nevertheless, we have this result." The ballot for the State Duma was smooth sailing for authorities, desperate to avoid a repeat of mass protests last time round and eager to increase their dominance as Russia faces the longest economic crisis of Putin's rule. But a low turnout suggested that many Russians may be turned off by a system in which the Kremlin wields near-total power, which could raise questions over legitimacy. In the last election for the Duma, in 2011, United Russia won 49 percent of the vote.

Putinova stranka pala na 50 posto potpore Rusa, komunisti na drugom mjestu u parlamentu Foto: AFP PUTINOVA stranka Ujedinjena Rusija zabilježila je pad potpore na jučerašnjim parlamentarnim izborima. Prema 96 posto prebrojanih glasova, Središnja izborna komisija je izvijestila kako Ujedinjena Rusija ima oko 50 posto glasova, dok je prije četiri godine dobila 64 posto glasova. Masovna kršenja izbornih pravila Ovi izbori su bili test popularnosti pred predsjedničke izbore na koje u ožujku izlazi Vladimir Putin. Oporbene stranke su se žalile zbog kršenja izbornih pravila. Jedina ruska nezavisna organizacija za praćenje izbora, Golos, je dobila čak 5300 pritužbi na kršenje izbornih pravila. Svaki peti Rus glasao za komuniste Na drugom mjestu je Komunistička partija sa 19,2 posto glasova te 92 mjesta u parlamentu. Na trećem mjestu se smjestila Samo Rusija sa 13,2 posto i 64 zastupnika te potom ide Liberalno-demokratska stranka sa 11,7 posto i 56 mjesta. "Primili smo tisuće poziva iz regionalnih ureda u kojima su nam govorili o masovnim prekršajima i prevari", kazao je Ivan Melnik iz Komunističke stranke te dodao kako se tijekom dana činilo kao da dobivaju izvještaje iz "ratne zone". Moskovska policija je izvijestila da je uhitila više od 100 ljudi tijekom oporbenih prosvjeda koji su se jučer održavali u centru Moskve.
