Russia's ruling pro-Putin party wins wartime election with over 57% of vote, near complete results show
The result gives United Russia about 355 of 450 seats, preserving the constitutional majority needed to amend Russia’s charter.
- On Monday, the Central Election Commission reported that President Vladimir Putin's United Russia party won the parliamentary election with over 95% of votes counted, framing the contest as a test of support for the Ukraine War.
- The ruling party secured 57.83% of the vote, according to the Central Election Commission, granting United Russia 355 seats in the 450-seat State Duma and maintaining its constitutional majority.
- Democracy watchdogs and Western governments dismissed the election as neither free nor fair after the Supreme Court removed the liberal Yabloko party, leaving only war-supportive candidates.
- Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported more than 1,600 drones shot down since September 19, while CEC chair Ella Pamfilova noted casualties in Kherson; turnout reached 56.7 per cent despite disruptions.
- Final results are not expected before September 25, although early counts placed United Russia above the constitutional threshold; the party deployed celebrity backing, including ice hockey star Alexander Ovechkin, during the campaign.
