The 2025 Sverdlovsk Oblast gubernatorial election will take place on 14 September 2025, on common election day. Acting Governor of Sverdlovsk Oblast Denis Pasler is eligible to run for a full term in office.

Background

[edit]

Then-Presidential Envoy to the Ural Federal District Yevgeny Kuyvashev was appointed acting Governor of Sverdlovsk Oblast in May 2012, replacing first-term governor Alexander Misharin who resigned early.[1] Later that month Kuyvashev was confirmed in the position by the Legislative Assembly of Sverdlovsk Oblast.[2] Governor Kuyvashev ran for re-election in 2017 and 2022, winning with 62.16% and 65.78% of the vote.[3][4] Under Yevgeny Kuyvashev Sverdlovsk Oblast saw dynamic social and economic development, while the governor was successful in managing conflicts in a traditionally politically active and protest-leaning region.[5] For example, Kuyvashev was instrumental in removing opposition Mayor of Yekaterinburg Yevgeny Roizman in 2018 and publicly supported building a church instead of public square in the city that sparked massive protests in 2019, while at the same time protecting Boris Yeltsin Presidential Center and fending off conservative critics, like Nikita Mikhalkov, Vladimir Solovyev and Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Governor Kuyvashev was also mentioned a potential candidate for promotion to the Government of Russia after 2024 Russian presidential election, however, he did not receive an appointment when the Mikhail Mishustin's Second Cabinet was formed in May 2024.[6] In February 2025 Vedomosti reported that Presidential Administration of Russia was looking into replacing Kuyvashev as Governor of Sverdlovsk Oblast in spring or fall of 2025,[7] while Kuyvashev himself denied his intention to resign.[8] Governor of Orenburg Oblast and former Prime Minister of Sverdlovsk Oblast Denis Pasler was viewed as the most likely successor to Kuyvashev,[9] though other candidates reportedly were considered, including recently appointed Presidential Envoy to the Ural Federal District Artem Zhoga, First Deputy Governor of Sverdlovsk Oblast Aleksey Shmykov, Yekaterinburg mayor Aleksey Orlov and Andrey Yarin, Head of the Presidential Office for Internal Policy.[10]

On March 26, 2025, Yevgeny Kuyvashev tendered his resignation, later that day President of Russia Vladimir Putin met with Denis Pasler and asked him to become acting Governor of Sverdlovsk Oblast, which Pasler accepted.[11] Meanwhile, various sources alleged that Kuyvashev would soon receive a new position at the federal level.
