The State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation of the 9th convocation (Russian: Государственная дума Федерального собрания Российской Федерации девятого созыва) is the convocation of the lower house of Russian parliament, elected during the legislative election in September 2026. Five parties were elected: United Russia, Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, New People and A Just Russia.

Background

[edit]

The 9th convocation of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly was elected in legislative election held from 18 to 20 September 2026. This was the first such election following the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.[1]

Election results

[edit]

Results based on party lists indicate that the same five parties entered the State Duma, as in the 8th State Duma elected in 2021: United Russia, Communist Party, Liberal Democratic Party, New People and A Just Russia.[2] United Russia secured 349 out of 450 seats, thereby obtaining a constitutional majority; this marked the party's best-ever result, surpassing the 343 seats won in the 2016 election.[3][4][5]

The convocation is elected for a five-year term.[6] Its inaugural session took place on 30 September 2026.[7]

Leadership

[edit]
Chairman of the State Duma
Vyacheslav Volodin (UR)

The Chairman of the State Duma and his deputies must be elected at the first meeting of the convocation. According to the constitution, the oldest deputy will open and conduct the first meeting. The first session was opened by 79‑year‑old Yury Petrov.[8] At the same time, Petrov is not the oldest member of the State Duma. He ranks only fourth, after Vladimir Resin (90), Valentina Tereshkova (89) and Gennady Zyuganov (82).

Chairman election

[edit]

Two candidates were nominated for the election of the chairman of the State Duma: Vyacheslav Volodin and Dmitry Novikov. This will be their third contest in the election of the chairman of the State Duma, as they were also candidates in 2016 and 2021.

Since United Russia holds an absolute majority of the deputies' votes, Volodin was easily elected chairman of the State Duma for a record third term. Volodin's candidacy was supported by Liberal Democratic Party, New People and A Just Russia.[18][19][20] President Vladimir Putin also supported Volodin’s nomination.[21]

Composition

[edit]

Factions

[edit]

United Russia secured the highest number of seats in its history: the party's previous highs were 343 seats in 2016 and 315 in 2007, whereas in 2021 it won 324 seats.[5] Party candidates won in 208 out of 225 single-mandate constituencies—compared to 198 five years earlier—including in Khabarovsk Krai, Yakutia, Mari El, and the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, where the party had lost in 2021.[4][25] The CPRF retained second place, though its representation shrank from 57 to 38 seats, and the number of constituencies won fell from nine to five. The LDPR increased its seat count from 21 to 24, while "New People"—which did not win a single constituency—went from 13 to 19 seats.[3][4][26] A Just Russia secured 16 seats, down from 27 in 2021: on the morning of September 21, after 94.95% of protocols had been processed, the party was polling at 4.96% and only cleared the threshold after 96.95% of protocols had been processed.[2] Four independent candidates and a candidate from the Rodina party won in single-mandate constituencies.[4]

The factions, their composition, and their numbers were approved on 30 September 2026.[27]

Deputies

[edit]

Of the 434 deputies of the 8th convocation who held their seats as of August 2026, 317 ran in the elections for the 9th convocation.[29] Among the deputies elected in districts within the annexed territories were Irina Kuksenova (Makeyevka District No. 13) and Sergey Makarov (Gorlovka District No. 15), both representing United Russia. According to preliminary data from United Russia, its parliamentary faction will include 49 participants in the war against Ukraine—a conflict Russian authorities term a "special military operation".[30] The party had previously cited the figure of 86, but RIA Novosti removed the report containing that number at the request of the party's press service.[31]

Regional groups within the United Russia party list were headed by 55 governors; notably, none of the heads of the annexed regions served in this capacity.[32] Such candidates—known as "locomotives"—do not intend to take up parliamentary seats and instead relinquish their mandates to the next candidates on the list; for instance, on September 21, Kirov Oblast Governor Alexander Sokolov announced he was declining his seat.[32][33] The party's federal list was headed by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, war correspondent Yevgeny Poddubny, Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights Maria Lvova-Belova, and Yunarmiya leader Vladislav Golovin.[34] Over the preceding twenty years, only Anna Kuznetsova—among the leaders of United Russia's federal lists—had actually assumed a parliamentary seat following the elections.[35] The State Duma will comprise 225 deputies elected from single-mandate constituencies and 225 deputies elected from five political party lists—consisting of federal and regional segments—representing United Russia (57), the CPRF (36), the LDPR (35), A Just Russia (37), and New People (37).
