YABLOKO leader Sergei Mitrokhin congratulated Eugeny Urlashov on winning the post of Mayor at elections in Yaroslavl. "This is an important event for the whole of the opposition, Mitrokhin said.

YABLOKO supported the candidacy of Eugeny Urlashov in the elections. About 100 YABLOKOs observers from Moscow, Tver and Tula participated in the monitoring of the voting in the second round.

Observers detected serious violations. Thus, they managed to get hold of 500 vouchers to be cashed by those who would vote for Yakov Yakushev representing the ruling United Russia party. The residents of the city told the observers that they had to exchange these vouchers for money after voting for Yakushev. Observers handed all the vouchers to the police.

Despite of all the attempts to rig the elections, Eugeny Urlashov was supported by 69.65 per cent of the voters. His opponent Yakov Yakushev obtained 27.78 per cent of the votes.
