United Russia to form final candidate list at September congress – Putin

BRYANSK. March 4. KAZINFORM The United Russia party will form the final list of candidates in the State Duma election and approve an election program at a congress due in September, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said at the United Russia interregional conference on Friday. Kazinform refers to Itar-Tass.

"We will form the final candidate list and approve the election program at the September congress. The program must have the 'regional Russia' section. It would be right to spell out party priorities in every federation constituent so that citizens voting for United Russia know what the party suggests on the federal level and what tasks will be resolved in his home region," he said.
