Moscow, Sep 19 (IBNS): President Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party has won more than 54 per cent votes in 90 per cent of ballots counted for the nation's Parliamentary election, the media reported on Monday.

Russian news agency TASS tweeted, "United Russia to get 76.22% of seats in the new State Duma — CEC," on Monday.

Although there was a low turn out of voters, 47 per cent, according to media reports, Putin said his party had "achieved a very good result."

The result increases United Russia's majority after it achieved 49% of the vote in the 2011 Duma elections. The party, led by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, will also take more seats in parliament, up from 238, the BBC reported.
