Russian Duma rejects Kiriyenko as PM on first vote Will it be 2-nd or 3-d vote when they approve? Now they want into the government. But they will be afraid to lose their seats, for sure! I think he will be approved on the 2-nd vote. -Vi MOSCOW, April 10 (Reuters) - Russia's opposition-dominated parliament voted on Friday to reject Sergei Kiriyenko as the country's next prime minister. Deputies in the State Duma lower house voted 186 against his nomination and 143 for. There were five abstentions. Not all 450 deputies were in the chamber. The Kremlin has made clear President Boris Yeltsin will immediately nominate Kiriyenko again. The outcome was closer than had been expected but Kiriyenko still fell well short of the 226 votes he needed. Under the constitution, the president dissolves the Duma and calls an election if the chamber rejects his candidate or candidates for the premiership three times. Parliamentary experts, and some deputies speaking privately, have said Kiriyenko could be approved on one of the two remaining votes. Yeltsin made clear in a radio address on Friday he had no other candidates in mind for the job and that the Duma should hurry up and approve Kiriyenko to minimise damage to the economy. The 67-year-old president sacked the old cabinet on March 23 and ordered Kiriyenko, a 35-year-old former banker with less than a year in government, to put together a new team and programme to give market reforms a boost.
