10,000 Rally to Demand Runoff Election in Moscow

More than ten thousand rallied in Moscow, on Monday, to protest the result of Sunday's mayoral election.

They are demanding that there be a runoff election between Alexei Navalny and Sergei Sobyanin.

Sobyanin, who is backed by president Putin, won the election with just over fifty percent of the vote.

Navalny, an anti corruption campaigner, has accused the government of rigging the election, to ensure Putin's man won.
