٠٠:٠٣:١٧Ella Pamfilova, chairperson of Russia's Central Election Commission, presented Vladimir Putin with a presidential certificate following his election victory in Moscow on Tuesday.
"The results of these elections are truly surprising - they are unprecedented. As I contemplate this, considering all the figures and statistics at hand, it becomes clear just how wise our people have proven to be. The unprecedented unity within our society and the recognition that this is not just a presidential choice, but a crucial stage in Russia's battle, is remarkable," Pamfilova said.
Pamfilova also emphasised that the voting was conducted safely despite claims of 'interference' from 'unfriendly countries'.
"This time, there was indecent interference in the process - a level of interference that we have unfortunately become accustomed to," Pamfilova added.
The Russian Central Election Commission reported that 76,277,708 citizens voted for Vladimir Putin, or 87.28 percent. CPRF (Communist Party of the Russian Federation) candidate Nikolai Kharitonov secured 4.31 percent, Vladislav Davankov from the New People and the Party of Growth received 3.85 percent, and 3.2 percent voted for LDPR (Liberal Democratic Party of Russia) candidate Leonid Slutsky.
The total turnout in the election was 77.49 percent. While a number of Western countries criticised the vote, head of the Shanghai Co-operation Organisation (SCO) observer mission Zhang Ming stated that it was 'transparent, credible and democratic' with 'no violations of national legislation that cast doubt on the legitimacy of the elections'.
