2024 Moscow City Duma election

United Russia won a resounding victory in the election, winning 38 seats and doubling its faction, after standing its candidates as Independents last cycle.

[1] The subsequent backlash and Smart Voting tactic, proposed by Navalny's Team, resulted in Mayor Sergey Sobyanin-backed Independents winning a slim majority of just 25 seats in the 45-member Moscow City Duma and losing the popular vote to CPRF (although in at least three constituencies Mayoral Office backed Communist candidates).

[3] The first change in the Duma composition occurred in August 2020, when Communist Vice Speaker Nikolay Gubenko from District 37 died after struggling with illness.

[6] Ryzhkov, however, left Russia in summer 2022 and officially resigned from the Duma in late January 2024, leaving his seat vacant until the next convocation.

[10] A third Communist deputy, Yevgeny Stupin (District 20), was expelled from the party in March 2023, a month later he was sacked from the faction and later left Russia.

[11] Three Moscow City Duma members were also declared foreign agents by the Ministry of Justice: Darya Besedina (Yabloko) in January 2023,[12] Yevgeny Stupin (CPRF)[13] and Mikhail Timonov (A Just Russia) in June 2023.

[16] For current Moscow City Duma deputies it only applied to Timonov, who had not publicly announced his intentions, as Besedina had already decided to retire, while Stupin was expelled.
