Russia's new State Duma to hold first post-election meeting on September 30

The first meeting of Russia's newly elected State Duma has been scheduled for September 30, according to a presidential decree.

The decree follows the election to the 9th convocation of the Russian State Duma, which took place over September 18-20, setting the formal timeline for the new parliament to begin its work.

The State Duma is the lower house of Russia's federal parliament, and the first sitting of a newly elected convocation typically involves procedural steps such as the swearing-in of deputies and the organization of the chamber's leadership and committee structure.

Presidential decrees setting the date for a new Duma's first session are a standard part of the constitutional process following elections, formally marking the transition from the outgoing convocation to the newly elected one.

Further details on the agenda for the September 30 session, including any leadership elections or initial legislative business, were not specified in the available report.
