Protesters against the election results in Primorye surrounded the administration building in Vladivostok (video)

Supporters of the Communist Party on Monday morning gathered at the building of the Primorsky Territory in Vladivostok, protesting against the preliminary results of the governor's elections. According to Interfax, for four hours several dozen people stand with red flags and posters expressing their position. The entrance to the administration building is protected by the police.

“I announced a hunger strike, supporters join me. We will be in the area the maximum amount of time, ”Ishchenko said.

Recall that in the region, when calculating 95% of the protocols with a margin of 6%, the communist Andrei Ishchenko won. However, after the counting of 99%, the winner was declared United Russia Andrei Tarasenko, for whom Putin personally campaigned. In response, Ishchenko declared an “unlimited strike of deceived voters” and urged everyone to come to the square to fighters for the power of the Soviets in Vladivostok. He himself began an indefinite hunger strike.

Ishchenko wrote that the legal service of the Communist Party of the Communist Party was preparing lawsuits in court to protest the results of the elections in the cities of Artyom, Ussuriysk, Nakhodka and Vladivostok (Sovetsky district). “We have a complete evidence base for this,” he said.

Also, according to him, a large press conference of the Communist Party will be held in Moscow in the morning, and this topic will be discussed at the morning meeting in the presidential administration.

Now the CEC website indicates preliminary voting results: according to them, Tarasenko leads with 49.55%, Ishchenko remains with 48.06% of the vote. The head of the Central Election Commission Ella Pamfilova has already said that she would not summarize the final results before considering all complaints.

The representative of the Primorsky regional branch of the Communist Party told The Insider that the party considers the elections by illegitimate and intends to defend Ishchenko’s victory in court.
