The Communist Party's presidential candidate Nikolai Kharitonov said that he hoped for a good result in the election, following the end of voting on Sunday.

Kharitonov added that he believed the newly elected president and government would also pay attention to his election programme.

"Our programme was welcomed everywhere with appreciation; they believed, hoped, and continue to believe. Therefore, no matter who wins the elections, as tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, our programme will receive the attention of the newly elected president, the government, and regional governors throughout Russia," the candidate concluded.

Communist Party leader Gennadi Zyuganov added that his organisation would do everything to implement their manifesto.

"Now, going into these elections, we have prepared a real programme to lead the country out of crisis and deadlock. And no matter what percentages anyone shows today, it will be impossible to get out and win without this programme. I, as a person and a politician, have stated it and I do. We will do everything to ensure that this programme is implemented," Zyuganov noted.

According to the CEC, after processing 50 percent of ballots, incumbent President Vladimir Putin is leading with 87.34 percent of votes. At the time of publication, the preliminary voter turnout for the presidential election was 74.22 per cent, including remote electronic voting.
