While addressing his All Russia People’s Front party supporters, Vladimir Putin made his stand known concerning the call for the elections result review.

His comments follow the latest mass protests on Saturday over the 4th of December poll, which his opponents say was rigged.

Mr Putin is the front runner in presidential elections due in March.

He said he sure to win the presidential elections coming up that he does not need to pull string to become victorious and the protest by his opponents is to create distractions and instability in the country.

Official results from the parliamentary vote gave Mr Putin’s party just under 50% of the vote, down sharply from 64% at the previous election in 2007.

Observers from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) said the polls were slanted in favour of the pro-Kremlin party United Russia.

The Russian authorities were also criticised for banning several opposition parties.

The protesters have called for a re-run of the vote, a demand rejected by the Kremlin.
