Английская Википедия:2022 Kirov Oblast gubernatorial election
The 2022 Kirov Oblast gubernatorial election took place on 10–11 September 2022, on common election day. Acting Governor Aleksandr Sokolov was elected for a full term.[1]
Background
Rosreestr Head Igor Vasilyev was appointed Governor of Kirov Oblast in July 2016, replacing Nikita Belykh, who was arrested for taking a bribe.[2] In September 2017 Vasilyev won the election with 64.03% of the vote.[3]
Governor Vasilyev's single term was accompanied by poor management and "disastrous" personal ratings.[4] Vasilyev's position was also weakened by a major corruption scandal in 2020, when Vice Governor Andrey Plitko, Vasliyev's trustee, and Ministry of Forestry Aleksey Shurgin were arrested for bribery.[5] In the 2021 Russian legislative election United Russia scored only 29.54% of the vote in Kirov Oblast, party's 4th worst result nationally.[6] Among rumoured candidates for replacement of Vasilyev were federal Minister of Health Mikhail Murashko, Deputy Presidential Envoy to the Volga Federal District Oleg Mashkovtsev, Rosatom top-manager Mikhail Sandalov and FSB First Deputy Director Sergey Korolev.[7] On 10 May 2022 Igor Vasilyev asked for his resignation along four other governors, Presidential Administration official Aleksandr Sokolov was appointed acting Governor of Kirov Oblast.[8]
Due to the start of Russian special military operation in Ukraine in February 2022 and subsequent economic sanctions the cancellation and postponement of direct gubernatorial elections was proposed.[9] The measure was even supported by A Just Russia leader Sergey Mironov.[10] Eventually, on 9 June Legislative Assembly of Kirov Oblast called gubernatorial election for 11 September 2022.[11]
