The 2022 Vladimir Oblast gubernatorial election took place on 9–11 September 2022, on common election day. Acting Governor Aleksandr Avdeyev was elected to a full term. [1]

Background

Vladimir Sipyagin was unexpectedly elected Governor of Vladimir Oblast in September 2018, defeating one-term incumbent Svetlana Orlova by a margin of nearly 20 points in the run-off. [2] Sipyagin became the first LDPR governor in Vladimir Oblast's history. Due to Sipyagin's surprising win, he was considered a "fluke winner", his term as governor was marked by poor governance and constant attacks from other political forces. [3] Naturally, rumours were spread about Sigyagin's early resignation. In February 2021, Sipyagin was named a potential candidate for State Duma seat of Aleksandr Kurdyumov, who was appointed to the Central Electoral Commission, [4] however, the vacant seat was awarded to Yakutia politician Gavril Parakhin. However, Sipyagin was placed in LDPR's party list for the upcoming State Duma election, placing No. 5 in the federal list. [5] On 19 September 2021, Sipyagin was elected to the State Duma, and on 29 September he announced his resignation as Governor of Vladimir Oblast. [6] Several candidates were rumoured as his replacement, including State Duma member from Kaluga Aleksandr Avdeyev, Deputy Minister of Labour Olga Batalina, [7] Gazprom Mezhregiongaz general director Sergey Gustov, and Rosseti Centre general director Igor Makovsky. [8] On 4 October, Avdeyev was appointed acting Governor of Vladimir Oblast. [9]

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. [10] The measure was even supported by A Just Russia leader Sergey Mironov. [11] Eventually, on 9 June the Legislative Assembly of Vladimir Oblast called the gubernatorial election for 11 September 2022. [12]
