Bulaev allowed "United Russia" to obtain a constitutional majority in the State Duma

"United Russia" may gain a constitutional majority in the ninth State Duma. This was announced on September 21 by Nikolay Bulaev, Deputy Chairman of the Central Election Commission (CEC) of Russia.

"We can talk about trends. It is very likely that representatives of "United Russia" will be elected as deputies in the absolute majority of single-mandate constituencies. ""And judging by the number of votes "United Russia" receives on party lists, it receives a constitutional majority in the State Duma," Bulaev told RIA Novosti.

"""" According to the CEC data, after processing 50.03% of the protocols of precinct election commissions, United Russia is gaining 57.87% of the vote, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation — 13.79%, the Liberal Democratic Party — 8.80%, "New People" — 7.86%, "Fair Russia" — 5.11%.

At the same time, Bulaev stressed that at this stage it is still difficult to accurately determine the number of mandates that "United Russia" will eventually receive.
