Yabloko fails to pass Novgorod Oblast Duma threshold after partial count

With 4.24% of protocols counted, Yabloko holds 4.9% in the Novgorod Oblast Duma single-member district, below the 5% threshold. This is an early count, so final results may shift, but the trend suggests Yabloko will not gain representation. The outcome reflects continued marginalization of opposition parties in Russian regional elections.
