At the 47th special session, where the early resignation of city head Valery Savelyev was approved, the candidacy of Nikolai Taktarov was proposed by head of the United Russia faction in the City Duma Vladimir Mutovkin.

He reminded that previously it had been supported by delegates of the conference of the party regional office, and then – by the whole fraction.

No other people were nominated.

In continuation of the discussion Vladimir Mutovkin described Mikolai Taktarov as a responsible and principled person, who is in touch with the situation.

During the secret voting, where 26 City Duma members participated, his candidacy was supported unanimously.

As it was noted by Nikolai Taktarov, the decision had been made "too quickly", therefore he failed to learn the text of the oath. In the end, he read it.

"I realize that I am taking the post that increases my responsibility for the situation in the city and City Duma functioning many-fold," Nikolai Taktarov explained.

He emphasized that he advocated cooperation and denied rivalry.

"You know who I mean and what reasons I mean," the newly elected head of Penza added with meaning.

Then the City Duma members voted for the early termination of his powers as a deputy head of the city.
