2019 Moscow City Duma election
Mikhail won the elections to the Moscow City Duma of the seventh convocation in the 16th single-mandate constituency (the districts Bogorodskoye, Preobrazhenskoye, part of Sokolinaya Gora), receiving 12.293 votes (37.6%). Member of the commissions for urban planning, state property and land use, environmental policy, urban management and housing policy.
He was supported by Alexei Navalny's "Smart Voting" system.[2] From September to November 2019 Michail Timonov led A Just Russia in Moscow City Duma and was suspended due to vote against the draft budget of Moscow for 2020.[3]
In June 2023, Timonov was declared a 'foreign agent' by the Russian Ministry of Justice.[4] On May 15, 2024 Vladimir Putin signed a law, which prohibits foreign agents to run in any elections in Russia until the status of foreign agents is revoked, which automatically disqualified Timonov from running for re-election.[5]
