Russia Elections: A Just Russia (SR) Clears Duma Threshold?

Several well-known deputies are not getting into the State Duma on the SR party lists, two sources close to the party told Vedomosti. Among them are the first deputy head of the faction, Dmitry Gusev, another deputy head of the faction, Alexei Chepa, and Nikolai Novichkov, deputy chairman of the Duma committee on civil society development. The entry into parliament of Mikhail Delyagin, deputy chairman of the economic policy committee, and Sergei Kabyshev, chairman of the science and higher education committee, is highly questionable. They head two regional groups in Moscow. Two parliamentary veterans will definitely not be in the faction: Galina Khovanskaya (a State Duma deputy since 2003) and Fedot Tumusov (since 2007). They both lost in single-mandate constituencies in Moscow and Yakutia, respectively, and are not included on the party list. Among the newcomers to the State Duma, former First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine and former head of the National Bank Sergei Arbuzov (from the new regions of Crimea and Sevastopol) and, possibly, writer and publicist Nikolai Starikov will make it. According to preliminary data, SR is gaining 5.33% and will enter the lower house. It will likely be able to elect 13 people from the party lists instead of 19 in 2021.

Sergei Mironov, in a commentary to Vesti, thanked voters for supporting A Just Russia in the recent elections to the new State Duma. "I want to express my gratitude to each and every one who supported A Just Russia... We have always fought not with numbers, but with skill. In different convocations, we were the third and fourth largest faction. At the same time, in terms of the number of bills introduced and adopted, we were in second place year after year." After the initial counts, A Just Russia did not overcome the five percent barrier, but after 96.95% of the protocols were processed, the party gained the required percentage. Thus, A Just Russia is entering the State Duma on party lists. To stay up to date with our exclusives: Website | MAX | Telegram | Live broadcast of "Russia 24"
