The Russian Central Election Commission elected its new head on Tuesday. Vladimir Churov, a former member of Liberal Democratic Party, was announced as a new chairman after a secret ballot at the first meeting of the commission.

Mr Churov's candidacy was backed by thirteen of the fifteen commission members.
