Presidential elections were held in South Ossetia on 9 April 2017 alongside a referendum on changing the official name of the state to "Republic of South Ossetia–the State of Alania", or "South Ossetia–Alania" for short.[1] Incumbent President Leonid Tibilov ran for a second and final term in office,[2] but was defeated by Anatoly Bibilov of the United Ossetia party.
Background
The date was set by Parliament on 18 January 2017.[2]
Candidates
- Leonid Tibilov, President of South Ossetia since 2012[3]
- Anatoly Bibilov, Speaker of Parliament[3]
- Alan Gagloev, former KGB officer[3]
Disqualified candidates
- Eduard Kokoity, President of South Ossetia from 2001 until 2011. His candidacy was rejected due to the Central Electoral Commission finding that he did not meet the residency requirements; a candidate must live in South Ossetia for at least nine months of the year in the ten years preceding an election.[3] The decision to disqualify Kokoity led to several protests in Tskhinvali, though the decision was not amended.[4]

- Ruslan Gagloyev, member of parliament, leader of Nykhaz[5]
