Vladimir Putin was officially re-elected with nearly 90% of the votes following the Russian presidential election which took place over three days, from Friday to Sunday. Of all the ballots counted, 87.28% relate to the name of the outgoing president, underlined Ella Pamfilova, president of the CEC.
According to her, participation also reached an “unprecedented” level with more than 77% of those registered having voted. With such a score, “the message is clear: there is supposedly not only no opposition, but also no political space for a possible successor or successor,” analyzes Jeff Hawn.
