TV Program Summary: Moscow NTV, 2 July [illegible]

This document is a Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) summary of a Moscow NTV newscast titled 'Segodnya,' presented by Marianna Maksimovskaya, dated 2 July. The report covers two primary domestic political events in Russia. The first concerns the cancellation of an election in Ingushetia following the disqualification of candidate Alimkhan Amirkhanov by the Ingush Supreme Court. Reporter Yevgeniy Matonin noted that the late announcement caused confusion among voters. Aleksandr Veshnyakov, head of the Central Electoral Commission, stated that those responsible for the situation would be held accountable, while Ruslan Mutsolgov, the deputy chairman of the Ingush Central Electoral Commission, was shown discussing the case. The second report, filed by Aleksey Kondulukov, covers gubernatorial elections in the Samara region. These elections were triggered by the resignation of the incumbent, Konstantin Titov, who is running for the position again. Despite allegations of 'dirty tricks' during the campaign, the elections were declared valid, with 27.5 percent voter turnout reported by 1400 local time.
