Vladimir Putin has won re-election as Russia’s leader today. Ballots are still being counted but it looks as if he’s going to win in a landslide with roughly 75 percent of the vote.
BBC:
Vladimir Putin will lead Russia for another six years, after securing an expected victory in the presidential election.
With more than half of ballots counted, he had received 75% of the vote, the central election commission said.
The main opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, was barred from the race.
Addressing a rally in Moscow after the early results were declared, Mr Putin said voters had “recognised the achievements of the last few years”.
Speaking to reporters after his win, he laughed off a question about running again in another six years.
“What you are saying is a bit funny. Do you think that I will stay here until I’m 100 years old? No!” he said.
The Jew-run media is already claiming that Putin’s victory was because of vote fraud which is ridiculous. Putin is an extremely popular leader. The Russians like him and overwhelmingly approve of the job he is doing for the country. He didn’t need to rig the polls to win. Just recently he had approval ratings around 80 percent.
The fact of the matter is that all big elections like this have some element of vote fraud but to claim that Putin won because of it is insane.
Putin’s reelection means he’ll lead Russia for another six years.
