It looks as if Vladimir Putin is going to win close to 90 percent of the vote in Russia’s presidential election.

Incumbent President Vladimir Putin is expected to win this year’s presidential election, with nearly 90% of the vote, Russia’s Central Election Commission (CEC) has reported.
According to the CEC, nearly a quarter of the votes have been counted as of 21:00 Moscow time and Putin leading the race with 87.9%.
Exit polls earlier showed similar trends, with the head of state expected to win the election with 87.8%.
His opponent from the Communist Party, Nikolay Kharitonov, is expected to come in second with 4.7%, followed by Vladislav Davankov of the New People party (3.6%) and Leonid Slutsky of the Liberal Democrats (2.5%).
The exit survey was conducted among 466,324 voters at polling stations across the country.
This year’s election has clocked a historic high voter turnout, which topped 74%, according to data from the CEC.
There are no politicians in the West that come close to enjoying the political support that Putin has in Russia. He is a legitimately popular figure because he is genuinely representing the interests of the Russian people.
As I mentioned in another article, it looks as if Putin will be leading Russia until 2030. That’s assuming he remains healthy throughout this time. This means that we can expect Russia to maintain its political stability as the West faces an increased amount of economic and political turmoil.
