Dmitry Medvedev did not make the cut for his party list again
Dmitry Medvedev did not make the cut for his party list again; Sergey Lavrov and Sergey Sobyanin took his place.
Consensus
- United Russia has finalized its federal 'five' candidate list for the September 2024 parliamentary elections.
- Sergey Lavrov is listed first on the federal candidate list.
- Sergei Sobyanin is included in the top five of the United Russia list.
- Eugeny Poddubny, Maria Lvova-Belova, and Vladislav Golovin are part of the federal 'five'.
- Dmitry Medvedev did not make it into the final federal candidate list.
- The party's leadership has been determined at a party congress.
Points of divergence
- Sobyanin replacing Shoygu in the top five is seen as a political message to voters weary of war, given Sobyanin's low association with 'SVO'. — tg_faridaily24
- The final list was shaped by President Putin personally, and the inclusion of Lavrov, Lvova-Belova, and Golovin was confirmed only in late June. — meduza
- In 2021, four out of the five top candidates from United Russia's federal list declined their mandates after elections. — novaya_eu
