The winning parties will be able to send their proposal for a candidate for the post of head of the region to the President of the Russian Federation for subsequent submission to the local parliament. Since the first places in the legislative bodies of the constituent entities of the federation have long been assigned to deputies from the party in power, this initiative loses all meaning: no matter from which side it comes - from the Center or from the periphery - the result is the same. The Kremlin protégé wins the gubernatorial elections.
