Maxim Suraikin, the leader of the "Communist of Russia" Party, who had been one of candidates for taking part in presidential election, has filed lawsuits demanding to abolish voting results at 13 polling stations in the Karachay-Cherkessian Republic (KChR).

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported, earlier, the KChR's Central Election Commission (CEC) demanded to cancel the election results at three polling stations because of possible violations.

On March 18, the voting took place at the presidential election in Russia. Observers reported numerous violations.

The regional branch of the party told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that Mr Suraikin has filed the above lawsuits at district and city courts of the KChR.

"The lawsuits were filed on March 27. We're ready to prove at courts that protocols of precinct election commissions (PECs) were falsified," a source from the party branch has stated.

In the KChR, Vladimir Putin gained 87.64% of the votes, the website of the Russia' CEC asserts.
