Candidate in Crimea Oleg Severnenko became a member of the State Duma from “Fair Russia – For the Truth” and fled during a live broadcast on the Kerch television channel. A video of the candidate's embarrassment appeared on social networks.
Severnenko began to talk about Russia's resources and wealth, but suddenly fell silent and could not continue the monologue.
“Honestly, I'm sorry. I can … Honestly, I was worried. I can't, “he turned pleadingly to the moderator.
The moderator said he still had airtime and offered to continue, but could not say anything. As a result, he left the frame while the moderator introduced him and said goodbye to the audience.
Severnenko is not the first to run for parliament. He later told Rise that his health had deteriorated during the broadcast.
“A busy month without days off, continuous trips to Kerch behind the wheel 750 km a day, as well as a stressful period at work. All these factors overlapped and at the time of the broadcast, my health deteriorated and I could not continue, “he said.
The candidate added that he was uncomfortable and apologized for his health, but he had nothing to be ashamed of.
