Back in Moscow, it was already late February, and the Duma general election was about to begin!

Of course, Wang Ye didn't have time to travel around. He had to sit in Moscow and direct the campaign work of the entire faction.

In addition, those who expressed their intention to switch to Wang Ye's faction some time ago have also begun to take action.

Go through the withdrawal procedures from the first, second and various small factions, resign from the job of Duma member, and formally swear to join Wang Ye's faction.

This chaos continued until March 20th. Finally, before the official election campaign began, the situation was generally stable.

In fact, the period before the Duma general election, that is, February and March, is a bit like the "transfer period" in football.

Members of Parliament should all start thinking about their own options.

Should he stay in the faction and run for the next parliamentary seat, or should he quit the Duma completely and work in the government, or work in a big company.

Of course, there are also people who want to continue running for office, but if their original faction does not receive enough support and resources, they will consider switching to another faction.

Wang Ye has "accepted" many similar former members of Congress.

During this period, the work of the entire Duma was almost at a standstill. Everyone was busy with the election campaign, and for the time being, there were no major issues that required the Duma to deal with immediately.

Even if there is, it will have to be postponed until after the election of the new Duma members...

On March 21st, the registration period for personnel of each faction ends, and the election will officially begin tomorrow.

In other words, those parliamentary candidates have already made it clear which faction they belong to, and participating in the election must be based on the registered faction.

No further faction switching is allowed until the end of the campaign.

Of course, unless they lose the election, if they succeed in the election, they will not be allowed to switch to other factions during their term of office.

This is also an institutional restraint on the members, otherwise the Duma would be in chaos.

………………

In Wang Ye's office in the Duma Building, Rosiana is reporting to Wang Ye on the summarized campaign situation.

"Misha, our faction now has more than 170 competitive candidates!

We have members running in almost every major constituency.

There are about a hundred that are relatively certain, about thirty that are relatively certain, and the remaining forty or so are more variable, or have certain disadvantages.

But no matter what, judging from the current situation, we can get a guaranteed 100 Duma seats in this general election!"

In fact, Rosiana was a bit conservative, because the latest polls show that the support rate of the faction led by Wang Ye has risen again among the people, reaching around 40%!

This support rate has even surpassed Grezlov's first faction...

Of course, support rates do not represent the final election results.

But it cannot be denied that factions with high support rates will definitely get a certain number of seats in the end!

According to Wang Ye's estimation, 120 seats are stable, and 150 seats can even make an impact. The hope is not small.

If it's any higher, there shouldn't be much hope. After all, the strength of the First Faction and the Moscow Faction cannot be underestimated.

Wang Ye nodded silently, as long as he could guarantee one hundred and twenty seats, he would be satisfied.

After all, the entire Duma only has 450 seats, and 120 seats account for nearly 30%, firmly ranking second.

Being able to squeeze out the Moscow faction is his goal.

It is also the target of the Kremlin and the First Faction!

If he really surpasses the first faction, Wang Ye will feel a headache. He is not mentally prepared yet.

You can't just become the Speaker of the Duma when you're only in your early twenties and haven't even graduated from college...

If it were just the deputy speaker of the Duma, it would not be too eye-catching. After all, there are several deputy speakers.

The power within the Duma is not small, but it rarely handles foreign relations on its own, so it will not cause a global sensation...

But if he really becomes the Speaker of the Duma, Wang Ye can imagine how heated the scene will be...

He is now at the deputy state level, and there are probably ten or twenty others in the entire Russian political circle.

And the Speaker of the Duma is a real high-ranking official!

No matter how you calculate it, you can’t find a few of them in Russia!

In addition to the Kremlin, the government, and the nominal Speaker of the House of Lords, that is the Speaker of the Duma!

To say he is the third person is not an exaggeration at all.

But this position seems a bit too exaggerated for the current Wang Ye...

He doesn't want to be the first person yet.

Wang Ye still wants to keep a low profile and "grow" for a few more years, let the old fox Gryzlov stand in front of him, and be his "teacher" for a few more years.

Anyway, the position of Speaker of the Duma will be yours sooner or later, and there is no rush.

Even after I become the Speaker of the Duma, I don’t know how many years I have to wait if I want to change my position...

…………

"Misha, do you want to call a meeting with the new members who have joined the faction to unify everyone's thoughts? Now that there are more members in the faction, I feel that there will be some hills in the future, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to lead the team."

Rosiana frowned and said.

She has now considered the problem as the "boss lady". The faction led by Wang Ye is of course her own team. She must maintain the atmosphere within the faction and unite everyone so that Wang Ye can stand in the Duma and the political arena.

Keep your footing.

Wang Ye thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "There is no rush, let's wait until the election results come out. Now everyone still has to focus all their energy on the election, and many people are working hard to canvass votes in their own constituencies. In order to hold the meeting

Everyone shouts back, it’s such a waste of time.”

Rosiana thought about this and nodded.

Wang Ye is not worried about any small hills appearing inside, because he knows very well that this thing is inevitable!

Since it cannot be avoided, then you only need to consider that even after the small hills appear, you can still keep everyone consistent on the big issues and avoid infighting. That will be enough.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Moreover, many of the members who came here originally had their own ideas and came with a purpose.

Just by holding a meeting for everyone, can everyone unify their thoughts?

That is obviously fantastic!

But now that he has become a member of a faction and he is the leader of the party, he will have time and ways to slowly "digest" it and let those members who have dissident intentions stand with him.

…………

Wang Ye's factional campaign is in good shape, so he certainly isn't panicking.

But Gryzlov was a little panicked...

As soon as Wang Ye arrived at his office that day, Gryzlov hurried to his office.

"Misha, have you read the latest poll results? What are your thoughts?"

As soon as he sat down, he asked eagerly.

Wang Ye shrugged and said with a smile: "I don't have any idea, just take a look at that thing, it's not the real election result."

He knows why Gryzlov came to him, because the latest poll support rate of the first faction has dropped to 38%!

This is two percentage points lower than Wang Ye’s faction…

If we calculate based on this support rate, then the name of the first faction will be changed, and Gryzlov and his faction will get fewer seats than Wang Ye's faction!

Seeing Wang Ye pretending to be confused, Gryzlov laughed angrily.

He reached out and tapped Wang Ye, and said helplessly: "Now that there are no outsiders, you and I shouldn't talk in circles. Let's put it this way, if your faction really gets the most seats, do you know what will happen?"

Wang Ye responded with an innocent face: "Let's not mention that it is impossible for our faction to get the most seats, and even if we get the most seats, what will happen?"

"Then your faction will become... a weirdo!" Gryzlov blurted out.

Wang Ye asked in surprise: "Why do you say that?"

"As far as I know, your faction doesn't plan to launch its own presidential candidate, right? Then, isn't it weird enough that the first faction of the Duma will not have a presidential candidate it supports?" Gryzlov stared at it.

Wang Ye said.

Wang Ye frowned, this was indeed a problem.

Logically speaking, his faction should support Puding, but Hovchenko also wants to participate in the election, so he is in a dilemma.

On one side is Rosiana's adoptive father, on the other side is her uncle...

Wang Ye simply stopped supporting it and let them run for office on their own strength!

But this is true, as Gryzlov said, it is indeed a bit strange that the largest faction in the Duma does not have a presidential candidate to support.

Of course, all this is based on the fact that Wang Ye's faction can get the most seats in the election and become the largest faction in the new Duma!

…………

Wang Ye asked with a headache: "What's going on with your faction? Why does the support rate keep falling?"

This is really difficult for Wang Ye to understand, because according to the original plan, Gryzlov and the others should not behave like this.
To be continued...
