Experts: election results will not be challenged in Chechnya

In Chechnya, the contenders of the "Yedinaya Rossiya" will not protest against the voting outcomes of the elections of deputies of the Russian State Duma held on December 2.

One of local political scientists told about it in his conversation with the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent. In his opinion, despite all doubtfulness of the voting outcomes (according to data disseminated by the Chechen Central Electoral Commission, the voter turnout was almost 100 percent, and 99 percent of the electorate have supported the "Yedinaya Rossiya"), the leaders of the branches of other Russian political parties in Chechnya will not dare to confront the "Yedinaya Rossiya".

"The Chechen list of this party was headed by Ramzan Kadyrov, while their federal list was headed by Vladimir Putin. Naturally, the branch leaders of political parties in Chechnya, whether the CPRF, the Union of Right-Wing Forces (SPS), LDPR, "Yabloko" and so on will not protest against the voting results of the recent elections. First of all, because it would mean to question the authority of the leader of Chechnya," the expert said.
