Chechnya’s parliament decided to start a new life – Kommersant

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, announced the dissolution of the Parliament of the Republic. Featured in September 2013, members had to work two more years, but unanimously supported the proposal of the Speaker of Magomed Daudov early termination of powers. As explained gentlemen Kadyrov and Dawud, combining elections of the head of the republic (scheduled for September 18) and the Parliament will save the budget. The political scientist noted that in the Russian regions do not practice self-dissolution of parliaments, and Mr Kadyrov uses early elections for the “personnel rotation in the deputy corps».

At the meeting of Parliament Magomed Chechnya Daudov proposed to terminate the powers of parliament and hold new elections at the same time with the election of the head of the republic in a single day of voting on 18 September. MPs unanimously decided to disband. Video on which the speaker read out a decree on early termination of powers of the parliament and published in Instagram Kadyrov, providing it with the comment: “In order to budget savings parliament voted to combine in September 2016 elections, the head of the Chechen Republic and the legislative authority.” As explained by Mr. Dawud, the money saved can be directed to the development of the republic, the solution of social problems. Also, the elections will provide an opportunity “to update the composition of the new Chechen Parliament initiative cadres capable of solving more ambitious goals together with the newly elected head of Chechnya,” he said. Ramzan Kadyrov said that “the Parliament began its work in the most difficult time for the region time and for a short period did a great job, not only legislative».

For Chechnya, unlike other Russian regions, the self-dissolution of parliament is not a novelty. In June 2008, the Chechen deputies also prematurely terminate his powers. The ground began to amendments to Chechnya’s constitution, according to which the parliament of bicameral (Council of the Republic and the National Assembly) turned into a unicameral. The bicameral parliament was elected in 2005, and by 2008 he had to work for another year. October 12, 2008 elections were held for a new parliament, which consists of 41 deputies.

Political analyst Rostislav Turovsky noted that in the Russian regions do not practice self-dissolution of the parliament. “Election of a few months was transferred to combine them with a single day of voting, but it is not the termination of office of two years prior to the end”, – he says. “In the case of Chechnya, we are the deliberate combination of presidential elections of the Republic and Parliament, it is convenient to Kadyrov, which uses elections for personnel rotation in the deputy corps”, – the analyst believes. The argument of cost savings in the elections he called “weak”, noting that it is a small amount. “You can consider it a gesture of the federal center on subsidies which the republic keeps saying that we save,” – said Mr. Turovsky

Commissioner for Human Rights in Chechnya Nurdi Nukhazhiyev called decision. dissolution of parliament reasonable. He noted that the number of deputies working in the parliament of the first convocation (there are six) and the body should be updated. Member of the Human Rights Council at the head of Chechnya, Kheda Saratova also believes that the purpose of the dissolution of parliament – “to refresh the composition of deputies.” “Apparently, the working poor, you know what Ramzan Akhmatovich temperamental, – said Ms. Saratova.- So, there are people who sit and do nothing, this is the reason to upgrade them to a young and energetic, which will bring more benefits.” Rotation, according to Mr. Turovsky, held in favor of the younger generation, which has no managerial experience, but loyal leadership of the republic.

Elections in the Chechen parliament will be held exclusively by party lists. Passing barrier – 5%. Mr. Turovsky suggested that the party structure of the Parliament can change. Now, four of the 41 deputies present the “Fair Russia” (7.3% in the election), one – “Patriots of Russia” (5%), the rest – United Russia (85.9%). In the new convocation of the factions, in his opinion, could be greater.

The head of the legal service of the Communist Party Vadim Solovyov said about the readiness of the Communist Party to participate in the elections “everywhere, including in Chechnya.” “Our measurements say that the Communist Party in the country’s rating to 25%, we hope to overcome the barrier,” – “b” Mr. Soloviev said. “We participate in all elections always, we have regional offices in all regions, including in Chechnya, the supreme council would decide on participation in the elections”, – said the “b” Vice-Speaker of the State Duma from the LDPR, Igor Lebedev. At the last elections in the parliament of Chechnya of the Communist Party won 0.19%, the Liberal Democratic Party – 0,08%
