At least two Russian opposition parties say they plan to challenge the results of Sunday's parliamentary elections, which President Vladimir Putin's party has won in a landslide.
With more than 90 percent of the votes counted, the United Russia party has more than 63 percent of the ballots cast, followed by the Communist Party, with almost 12 percent.
Two pro-Kremlin parties (the Liberal Democratic party and Fair Russia) also won enough votes to qualify for seats in the Duma (- the lower house of Russia's parliament).
Leaders of the Communists and the Union of Right Forces party both plan to challenge the results.
