The chairman of the Penza regional branch of political party “Yabloko” Nikolay Zuev said: “I absolutely agree that it is necessary to reconsider the results of elections and to spend re-elections. The vote recount here won't help vote-rigging was great, therefore the second time for “United Russia” to vote already will go nobody, and the representatives of party in power now understand that in case of re-elections they won’t have even 7 % of votes”.

He informed also that now the representatives of the party sent the applications to the Investigatory committee of the Penza region where they specified the infringements which were revealed at 9 polling stations in Penza.

Nikolay Zuev declared: “The majority of infringements were fixed in Leninsky district of Penza. The data of the observers’ reports differ greatly from the data of system GAS “Elections. We consider that similar infringements were at 30 % of polling stations, therefore it is possible to say that elections in the Penza region are illegitimate”.
