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

Background

[edit]

Aleksandr Nikitin served as Head of Administration of Tambov Oblast since 2015, replacing 15-year incumbent Oleg Betin. That year, Nikitin won the election for a full term with 85.47% of the vote. Nikitin won a second term in 2020 with 79.30% of the vote.[2] Despite modest economic achievements, Nikitin's term was marked by poor consolidation of regional elite, which resulted in several setbacks for the administration.[3] One of them was United Russia's defeat in the 2020 Tambov City Duma elections, when Rodina, affiliated with former Tambov Mayor Maksim Kosenkov won 26 seats out of 36.[4] On 4 October 2021 Nikitin resigned just one year into his second term, Deputy Minister of Construction Maksim Yegorov was appointed acting Head of Administration of Tambov Oblast.[5] Nikitin was appointed to the Federation Council by Tambov Oblast Duma on 7 October.[6]

Due to the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and subsequent economic sanctions, the cancellation and postponement of direct gubernatorial elections was proposed.[7] The measure was even supported by A Just Russia leader Sergey Mironov.[8] Eventually, on 7 June Tambov Oblast Duma called the gubernatorial election for 11 September 2022.[9]
