"I am satisfied with the results of the elections because four political parties [United Russia, Communist Party, LDPR and A Just Russia] managed to enter the Legislative Assembly. It is a good competition. When we pass bills in a competitive debate taking into account opinions of all political powers, the whole social profile of the population will be reflected what will have a favourable impact on the quality of bills," he said during a briefing held in the Penza department of United Russia on Monday, September 11.

According to Valery Lidin, the renewed regional parliament will face a complicated task – consolidation of all political forces to solve common issues.

He thanked representatives of the parties for their correctness and respect for each other during the election campaign.

"As a citizen of the Russian Federation and resident of the Penza region I welcomed the fact that a multi-party system does exist nowadays," the secretary of the United Russia regional department added.
