Russian election manager ousted
By Richard Galpin
BBC News, Moscow
Mr Veshnyakov had been in post for eight years
Election commission head Alexander Veshnyakov has been removed as Russia gears up for parliamentary and presidential polls in the next year.
Mr Veshnyakov had spoken out against the dominance of the pro-Kremlin party, United Russia, which controls the national parliament.
Last weekend, it swept the board in a series of regional elections.
There has been no official explanation for Mr Veshnyakov's removal. He had run the commission for eight years.
He had overseen both presidential elections won by Vladimir Putin.
