The only independent billionaire candidate in Russia’s presidential elections, Mikhail Prokhorov, cast his ballot on Sunday in the Krasnoyarsk Territory in East Siberia, a RIA Novosti correspondent reported.

Five candidates - Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov, nationalist Liberal Democratic Party head Vladimir Zhirinovsky, A Just Russia Party leader Sergei Mironov and Prokhorov - are running for president in the March 4 vote.

“I am very much glad that I am the first presidential candidate to vote in the center of our country,” Prokhorov said after the vote. “I choose the new Russia. Everything is just beginning.”

The Krasnoyarsk Territory is geographically in the middle of Russia.

He said he will soon fly back to Moscow, because he plans to take part in talk shows discussing elections in the evening.
