A spokesman for the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov explained to address a number of governors to hold early elections, the desire to secure the credit. “There are governors who have normal levels, and they are trying to be elected to renew the trust that is not to be nominated and confirmed by the Legislative Assembly, and, of course, they tend to get elected”, – the “RIA Novosti “the words of Mr. Peskov. He also stressed that early elections of heads of subjects can significantly save public funds. “The regions in which there will be elections to the legislative assemblies, it is reasonable to combine them with the election of the governor. This is a fairly solid savings in the regional budgets, “- said the press secretary of the president.

Dmitry Peskov also said that the appointment of governors to act temporarily for exit to the elections is a certain credibility, but does not make claim to the post of governor in unequal conditions in the elections.

Earlier, the deputies of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg of the “Yabloko” faction proposed to prohibit the incumbent governor participate in early elections in the event of voluntary resignation. A similar proposal was made by the head of the Liberal Democratic Party, Vladimir Zhirinovsky. The initiative is due to the fact that the governors extend the term of office, using “dummy” retirement.
