United Russia Leads Preliminary Vote Count With Half of Ballots Processed
Russia's Central Election Commission reports early results showing the ruling party ahead, with the Communist Party in second place, according to TASS.
The ruling United Russia party is leading in preliminary vote tallies after half of the ballots were processed in a recent election, Russia's Central Election Commission said, according to a report by the state news agency TASS.
Based on the data cited by TASS, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation ranked second with 13.79% of the vote counted so far. The Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) followed with 8.80%, while the New People party received 7.86% of ballots tallied.
A Just Russia, another parliamentary party, garnered 5.11% support in the partial count, the Central Election Commission reported.
TASS did not specify in the cited figures the exact percentage secured by United Russia itself, though the party was described as leading the count. The commission's tally was based on approximately 50% of ballots processed at the time of the report.
Further results are expected as the Central Election Commission continues to process the remaining ballots. TASS said it would continue to report updates as more votes are counted.
