Gorizbirkom: According to preliminary data, Matvienko gained 95.61% of the vote in the district of "Peter"

"For her vote 95.61% of voters" – he said, stressing that these are preliminary data. Counting of votes in the district "Krasnenkoe River," from which also ran Matvienko, is not finished yet. In late June, President Dmitry Medvedev has unexpectedly endorsed the idea of electing the speaker of the Federation Council, Matvienko. Experts and journalists agreed that this mild form of retirement Matvienko before the election in the State Duma and Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, which took place in the light of discontent citizens. Experts have repeatedly pointed out that the procedure for promotion Matvienko speakers may be broken. They are strengthened in this opinion, after the registration procedure Matvienko in the municipal elections held in secret. Matvienko must win the local elections to become a senator and speaker of the Federation Council Sergei Mironov, instead, to actively criticize it. The fact that Matvienko had applied for registration of deputies of municipal councils in two districts, only became known on 31 July – even after a completed nomination. "SR" promised to challenge the election in court because they have not been announced publicly, and the opposition have not been able to nominate their candidates. But it turns out that Matvienko has already won a court on the legality of his nomination in the district of "Peter." Author: BBC All news of the region
