Main Kremlin Party Keeps Control of Russia’s Parliament After a Carefully Orchestrated Vote
Preliminary results showed United Russia winning 355 of 450 seats after opposition candidates were largely excluded, election officials said.
- On Monday, the Central Election Commission announced that the Kremlin's United Russia party retained its majority in the State Duma, securing 355 of the 450 total seats.
- The Kremlin tightened its crackdown on opposition ahead of the election, barring the only liberal, anti-war party from the ballot and imprisoning or forcing some anti-war politicians into exile.
- Voting took place across four regions of Ukraine seized by Moscow, as well as in Crimea; Kyiv denounced the proceedings in these Russian-controlled areas as illegal.
- Results from over 95% of polling stations showed United Russia winning just under 58% of the vote for 225 party-apportioned seats, while the party led in 208 of the 225 single-ballot races.
- Central Election Commission chair Ella Pamfilova confirmed the preliminary results, reflecting a political landscape where opposition voices were systematically marginalized throughout the voting process overseen by President Vladimir Putin.
