Director of the Vyaznikovsky Center for Additional Education of Children named after Hero of the Russian Federation V.V. Seliverstov, Irina Gracheva, after winning the United Russia primaries, was registered as a candidate for deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Vladimir Region and stood in the territorial group of the party list in district No. 24. However, on July 19, the Vladizbirkom, based on her application, excluded Gracheva from the list of candidates for deputies of the Legislative Assembly. Why, being a deputy of the district council and the absolute winner of the United Russia primaries, Gracheva, on the fourth day after the removal of Major General Seliverstov from command of the division, decided to withdraw her candidacy from the elections – the election commission did not say.
The source reports that the speaker of the Legislative Assembly of the Vladimir region, first deputy secretary of the regional branch of United Russia, Vladimir Kiselev, had a hand in Gracheva’s removal from the election race.
