MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 18th May, 2022) Leonid Slutsky, the chair of the foreign affairs committee in the Russian lower house, was elected as a new leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR), party's spokesman Alexander Dupin told Sputnik on Wednesday.
"Leonid Slutsky has been elected as the head of the LDPR faction," Dupin said.
Later in the day, Slutsky commended his fellow party members for "confidence shown" and assured that no major reforms regarding the party's operation are anticipated.
"There will be no tectonic shifts in the work of the LDPR faction, we are a constructive opposition," Slutsky told reporters.
