Konstantin Bocharov became Chairman of the Krasnoyarsk Regional Election Commission

The new composition of the Krasnoyarsk Territory Electoral Commission at a meeting on Tuesday elected Konstantin Bocharov, who previously worked at Norilsk Nickel, as chairman of the commission. It is reported by RIA "Novosti" with reference to a source in the election committee. Bocharov's candidacy was proposed for the post of head of the regional election commission by the Central Election Commission of Russia on April 29.

The formation of the new composition of the regional commission was completed at the end of April. The commission included seven members approved by the Legislative Assembly of the region, and seven - proposed by the regional administration.

The former regional election commission, chaired by Georgy Kostrykin, was disbanded in accordance with the decision of the Krasnoyarsk regional court on January 27, which satisfied the corresponding requirement of the Central Election Commission of Russia. The CEC considered that the Krasnoyarsk electoral commission committed serious violations by refusing to approve the results of the election of the governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, held in September 2002, and the legitimacy of the election of Alexander Khloponin to the post of head of the regional administration.
