Kurgan region Governor Vadim Shumkov succeeded the greatest margin with a file 85.17%..None, nevertheless, acquired a much higher frame than Head of state Vladimir Putin succeeded in the March presidential vote-casting-- 87.27%.The Kremlin-- which always keeps an inconspicuousness by relying on faithful representatives, both in the financing as well as on the ground, to carefully keep an eye on every measure of the vote-casting campaign-- ensured to make sure that no governor obtained a much higher percentage of the vote than Putin, The Moscow Moments recognizes, as this is taken into consideration mauvais heap and also can also result in consequence for the governors.The guvs' record-high end results were barely a real reflection of extensive public support..Radiy Khabirov, the head of the Urals republic of Bashkortostan whose pursuit for reelection was actually spoiled through shadiness scandals and also mirrors of a number of the biggest public restlessness in war time Russia, gotten 80.21% of votes, according to official records..Yet the true portion of choose Khabirov is actually improbable to go over 40%, according to individual vote-casting professional Renat Fakiev." The amount [of votes offered] for Khabibrov was actually exaggerated through around two opportunities.
