Putin 'elected Russian president'
Vladimir Putin has been elected Russian president for the third time, exit
polls suggest, after spending the last four years as the country's PM.
The exit polls gave Mr Putin about 60% of the vote, meaning that he should
avoid a run-off with his nearest rival, Communist Gennady Zyuganov.
Officials say turnout was higher than for the last election in 2008.
But opposition groups have reported widespread fraud, with many people
voting more than once.
They have called for mass protests in central Moscow on Monday.
Meanwhile thousands of supporters of Mr Putin have gathered with Russian
flags and banners outside the Kremlin for a concert to celebrate his victory.
There's tight security in the centre of Moscow tonight. I'm standing near
Red Square and there's a line of about 50 trucks guarding the Kremlin with
police and interior ministry troops.
Throughout the day election monitors reported widespread vote-rigging in
support of Mr Putin including so-called carousel voting where people are
bussed from one polling station to another to cast multiple ballots.
"The cheating has been on a vast scale," opposition activist Alexei Navalny
told me. "Vladimir Putin hasn't won this election. He's appointed himself
president."
But Mr Putin has his supporters and they were out celebrating even before
the polls closed. He's expected to address supporters later tonight near the
Kremlin but tomorrow anti-government protesters will gather in the city
centre to denounce this election as neither free nor fair.
The electoral commission published preliminary results, with 14% of
districts counted, showing Mr Putin gaining nearly 62%, and Mr Zyuganov just
under 18%.
The other three candidates were in single digits.
In a news conference after the polls closed, Mr Zyuganov described the
elections as "unfair and unworthy".
But he said that with increasing public anger, Mr Putin "would not be able
to rule like he used to".
"These elections cannot be considered legitimate in any way," said Vladimir
Ryzhkov, one of the leaders of the street protest movement, which was not
represented in the election.
Meanwhile Mr Putin's campaign chief Stanislav Govorukhin described the poll
as "the cleanest in Russian history".
The turnout was 58.3% by 18:00 Moscow time (14:00 GMT), considerably higher
than in 2008 elections. Electoral officials forecast a final turnout of 62.3
%.
The election was held against a backdrop of popular discontent, sparked by
allegations of widespread fraud during December's parliamentary elections in
favour of Mr Putin's United Russia party.
Observer organisations said there had been thousands of violations including
so-called carousel voting, with busloads of voters being driven around to
different polling stations.
The alleged fraud came despite the presence of thousands of independent
observers and web cameras at polling stations.
Opposition blogger and anti-corruption campaigner Alexey Navalny told the
BBC: "Grandiose scale of falsifications, especially in Moscow... mass use of
carousel voting." | w*p
