Putin’s United Russia wins 355 seats in Russia’s parliamentary election

United Russia won a record 355 seats in the Duma, achieving a supermajority larger than its previous 343-seat record.

The election was the first since Russia's Ukraine offensive and saw no participation from parties critical of Putin.

The Communist party came second with 40 seats, while the LDPR and New People parties won 25 and 20 seats respectively.

MOSCOW, Sept 21 — President Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party won a record 355 seats in Russia’s 450-seat Duma lower house of parliament, according to preliminary results from the three day election released by electoral chief Ella Pamfilova on Monday.

With almost all votes counted from the poll, in which no parties critical of Putin took part, results showed the presidential party will have a supermajority larger than its previous 2016 record of 343 seats.

It was Russia’s first parliamentary election since Moscow launched its Ukraine offensive in 2022.

The Kremlin tightly controls elections and Moscow has banned criticism of its military campaign in Ukraine.

Pamfilova said turnout was more than 59 per cent, thanking Russians for voting despite what she called “psychological pressure” on the country.

Russia’s Communist party came second, winning 40 seats.

The nationalist LDPR party took 25 seats and the New People party winning 20 seats.

United Russia has dominated politics since the early 2000s and Putin has been in power since New Year’s Eve 1999.

Pamfilova said that more than 95 per cent of votes have been counted and that final results will be announced later this week. — AFP

统一俄罗斯党在国家杜马中赢得创纪录的 355 个席位，获得了比之前 343 个席位更大的绝对多数。

这是俄罗斯对乌克兰发动进攻以来的首次选举，没有一个批评普京的政党参与。

共产党位居第二，获得 40 个席位，而自由民主党和新人民党分别获得 25 个和 20 个席位。

莫斯科，9 月 21 日——根据选举委员会主席埃拉·帕姆菲洛娃周一公布的为期三天的选举初步结果，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京领导的统一俄罗斯党在俄罗斯国家杜马（议会下院）450 个席位中赢得了创纪录的 355 个席位。

在普京的政党没有参与投票的情况下，几乎所有选票都已统计完毕，结果显示总统所属政党将获得比其在 2016 年创下的 343 个席位纪录更大的绝对多数席位。

这是自莫斯科于 2022 年对乌克兰发动攻势以来，俄罗斯举行的首次议会选举。

克里姆林宫严格控制选举，莫斯科禁止批评其在乌克兰的军事行动。

帕姆菲洛娃表示，投票率超过 59%，并感谢俄罗斯人民在她所谓的“心理压力”下仍然积极投票。

俄罗斯共产党位居第二，赢得 40 个席位。

民族主义政党自由民主党获得25个席位，新人民党获得20个席位。

自 2000 年代初以来，统一俄罗斯党一直主导着俄罗斯政坛，而普京自 1999 年除夕夜以来一直掌权。

帕姆菲洛娃表示，超过95%的选票已经清点完毕，最终结果将于本周晚些时候公布。——法新社
