Olga Kirilova, Chairman of the Moscow Municipal Election Commission, said that the current mayor Sobyanin won the Moscow mayoral election, receiving 76.4% of the vote. Kirilova congratulated the current mayor on his "absolutely indisputable victory".
According to the report, Sobyanin expressed gratitude to the citizens of Moscow for their support. This is already Sobyanin's third re-election as the mayor of Moscow.
In addition, AFP reported on September 11 that Sobyanin, who was "expressionless and silent", maintained the stable operation of the Russian capital during opposition protests, the impact of the COVID-19 and now Ukraine's regular drone attacks.
It is reported that Sobyanin has led Moscow for nearly 13 years. He is one of a group of technocratic elites who quietly let the country through the turmoil of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Analysts say he is allowed to manage Russia's most important cities with "minimal intervention", indicating his trust in Putin.
