MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 24th September, 2018) The party affiliation of the candidates who won the gubernatorial elections in Russia's Khabarovsk territory and Vladimir region does not hinder constructive working relations, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday.

"Party affiliation, if you look at all the entire experience, and you know that some regions of Russia...

are led by representatives of other parties, not the ruling party, and this has absolutely, in no way prevented the maintenance of tight, constructive working relations at a proper level with all governors," Peskov said when asked by reporters how the Kremlin will interact with the new governors who came to power from opposition parties.

He said the Kremlin welcomes the fact that in line with the Central Election Commission's assessment, the second round of regional elections was fair, open and competitive, although he added that there was a certain "element of surprise."
