Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he considers Viacheslav Volodin a worthy candidate for the post of speaker of the State Duma of the VIII convocation. The president said this at a meeting with the leaders of the parties that entered the State Duma. The event was broadcast by the Russia 24 TV channel.

According to the head of state, the State Duma of the VII convocation managed to effectively organize its work, especially during a pandemic.

“To a large extent, this was done thanks to the Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Viktorovich Volodin. I repeat once again: it is up to you to decide during the voting, but I think that Vyacheslav Viktorovich is quite worthy to head the State Duma of the next eighth convocation, “he said on Saturday at an online meeting with the leaders of political parties that passed to the State Duma,” he.

Putin’s proposal was also supported by the chairman of United Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, saying that Volodin had worked with dignity in the previous period and would be able to “organize this work with no less brilliance in the coming period.” Volodin himself thanked the president for assessing the work of the State Duma of the VII convocation and promised to justify the confidence placed in him.

On Friday, September 24, the CEC of Russia approved the results of the elections to the State Duma. As a result, United Russia received 324 mandates, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation – 57, A Just Russia – 27, the Liberal Democratic Party – 21, and New People – 13 mandates. One by one – Rodina, Civil Platform, and the Growth Party. Self-nominated candidates also received five mandates.
