Kurgan location Guv Vadim Shumkov succeeded the highest frame along with a file 85.17%..None, having said that, received a higher margin than Head of state Vladimir Putin gained in the March presidential election-- 87.27%.The Kremlin-- which keeps an inconspicuousness by counting on faithful representatives, both in the funds and on the ground, to closely monitor every action of the political election campaign-- took care to make certain that no guv received a higher portion of the ballot than Putin, The Moscow Moments comprehends, as this is considered mauvais bunch and also can even cause punishment for the guvs.The governors' record-high results were hardly a correct reflection of wide-spread social assistance..Radiy Khabirov, the scalp of the Urals commonwealth of Bashkortostan whose journey for reelection was tainted by shadiness rumors and also mirrors of a number of the largest public unrest in wartime Russia, safeguarded 80.21% of votes, depending on to main documents..Yet the real share of choose Khabirov is improbable to surpass 40%, depending on to individual vote-casting analyst Renat Fakiev."
