# 8th State Duma

The State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation of the 8th convocation (Russian: Государственная Дума Федерального Собрания Российской Федерации восьмого созыва) is the current convocation of the lower house of Russian parliament.
The composition of the 8th State Duma was determined based on the results of the 2021 legislative election. Elections were held using a mixed system: 225 deputies were elected on party lists and 225 — in single-member constituencies. Of the 14 parties that participated in the elections, only 5 were able to overcome the 5% barrier. And for the first time since 1999, more than four parties were able to form their own factions. Three more parties and five independent candidates were able to win one seat each through single-mandate constituencies.
In accordance with the presidential decree, the first meeting of the 8th State Duma was held on 12 October 2021.

## Leadership

The leadership of the State Duma where elected at the first meeting.
In accordance with the Constitution, the oldest deputy opens the first session. However, for the first time ever, the second oldest deputy opened the first meeting. This was because the oldest deputy, 85-year-old Vladimir Resin, refused to open the meeting and therefore this duty was passed to 84-year-old Valentina Tereshkova. In addition to Tereshkova, as per tradition, the presidium was also attended by the oldest deputies from each faction.

### Chairman election

On 25 September 2021, during a meeting with the leaders of the parties elected to the State Duma, President Vladimir Putin expressed his support for the Chairman of the State Duma of the previous convocation Vyacheslav Volodin. Putin said that Volodin was worthy of becoming chairman again, but would leave the final decision to the deputies of the State Duma. After that, United Russia nominated Volodin for the position. Since United Russia has a majority in the State Duma, this means that Volodin will be elected speaker without the support of other parties. Nevertheless, the Liberal Democratic Party and A Just Russia — For Truth also endorsed Volodin.
The Communist Party refused to support Volodin and announced its intention to nominate its own candidate for the Chairman. The Communists named Dmitry Novikov, Leonid Kalashnikov and Yury Afonin as possible candidates. On 7 October it was officially announced that the Communist Party would nominate Dmitry Novikov for Chairman of the State Duma.
The New People party did not nominate a candidate, but also did not publicly endorse any candidate.
| Candidate | Candidate | Votes | % |
| | √ Vyacheslav Volodin (UR) | 360 | 80.0% |
| | Dmitry Novikov (CPRF) | 61 | 13.6% |
| Not voting | Not voting | 29 | 6.4% |

## Factions

Five parties were able to overcome the 5% barrier in the elections and form their own factions. Candidates from three more parties were able to win in their constituencies, but they will not be able to form factions, since their parties did not pass the electoral barrier. They may to join the factions of other parties, or became unaffiliated deputies. Two of them joined the Liberal Democratic Party. Also, independent deputies were elected in five constituencies, who could also become unaffiliated, but joined the factions of political parties.
