Wang Ye's proposal clearly caught Grezlov off guard, and he was stunned for a moment, unable to react.
Rilinov, on the other hand, smiled and expressed his agreement.
"Yes, because of the General Election recently, the entire Moscow has been in chaos, and many people are not focusing on their work.
During such times, stability is the most important!
For an important institution like the Duma, only a person of high prestige and profound talents can hold the fort.
Originally, Mikhail was supposed to succeed as Speaker, which would not have been an issue, but the situation has changed, and now he is joining the election, which leaves the position of Duma Speaker vacant again.
From any perspective, Grezlov, you are the best candidate for Speaker, bar none!"
He was also taking a stance, which meant supporting Grezlov to continue serving as Speaker.
With his and Wang Ye's support, Grezlov's continuation as Speaker was basically a sure thing, unless he himself was unwilling.
