The Novosibirsk Governor Andrei Travnikov headed the re -division of United Russia before the elections to the City Council and the Legislative Assembly, which will be held in 2020. The regional committee of the Communist Party is still led by the mayor of Anatoly Lokot, who in 2018 at the last moment decided not to nominate the governors in exchange for the regional government support in the 2019 mayor.
Now the "EP" and the Communist Party will collide in the election of deputies. The campaign will be affected by the federal agenda, in particular, the negative attitude of the population towards pension and garbage reforms, said the deputy of the Legislative Assembly from the Communist Party Andrei Zhirnov at the conference “Political season-2020 in the Novosibirsk Region”, organized by the Institute of Politics and Technology.
“[In the past elections of the mayor], Novosibirsk again showed that this is a territory where there is a competitive election, where a completely different political atmosphere than in other regions of our country,” said Zhirnov ( quote for the Communist Party of the Communist Party). - Here the authorities are not afraid to conduct a discussion with society. We remember that it was under Victor Tolokonsky, this trend has been preserved today. We can recall the 2011 elections when the result of United Russia was one of the worst in the country, and in Novosibirsk it lost the Communist Party, we can recall the elections of the 2014 mayor of Novosibirsk, when the representative of the opposition won in one of the key cities of the country for the first time.

At the same time, Zhirnov “expressed the hope of preserving the business interaction of the mayor Anatoly Lokty and Governor Andrei Travnikov, which allowed the regional committee to solve a number of important tasks in 2017-2018:“ Despite this, the Communist Party and United Russia will fight the elections to the Legislative Assembly and the Council of Deputies of Novosibirsk. It is very important that political forces be able to avoid both hatching and such moods that everything is lost, nothing can be done. ”
The conference discussed the topic of a possible “conspiracy” of the Communist Party and “EP” in the upcoming elections, said Natalya Pinus, an independent deputy of the City Council.
“It will happen or not, and who can be a well -being? - asked Facebook Pinus. - An interesting topic. Perhaps I’ll write more about it. ”
The former governor and ex-field chairman of the president Viktor Tolokonsky believes that "the campaign will be very active."
“A low turnout on the last election campaign is not a consequence of indifference. Novosibirsk made a responsible choice with the understanding that the region and the city should develop. We need a positive, constructive agenda, ”he said.
Earlier, the City Council of Novosibirsk was announced about plans to participate in the elections of the City Council by the local headquarters of Navalny Sergey Boyko. He took second place in the mayor’s elections in 2019, gaining about 20% of the vote.
In addition, supporters of Alexei Navalny plan to launch the Smart Voting project in the elections of deputies in the Novosibirsk and Tomsk regions. The leader of the Novosibirsk headquarters, Politics, Sergey Boyko, has already announced participation in the campaign. Its essence is to invite voters to vote for a candidate who has the most chance of bypassing the representative of United Russia (or a self-nominated person who supports the current government, as was the case in the elections in the Moscow City Duma-2019).
In 2020, the Novosibirsk Region will host the elections of deputies of the Legislative Assembly and the Novosibirsk City Council. Half of the regional parliament is elected according to the lists, half - in the district. In the City Council, 40 mandates are distributed in districts, 10 - according to the lists. In 2015, EP received 50 out of 76 mandates in the Legislative Assembly, 32 out of 50 in the City Council.
