🇷🇺 Russia election: Putin-backed party poised for victory | Al Jazeera English

Russian President Vladimir Putin's grip on power looks to be secure, as pro-Kremlin parties dominate parliamentary elections.

Voters were able to choose candidates from fourteen parties, only four of which have representatives in the current parliament.

For the first time since it was annexed in 2014, people in Crimea took part in the process.

Al Jazeera’s Rory Challands reports from Yalta.
