The Executive Committee of Gagauzia (Gagauz: Gagauz Yerin Bakannık Komiteti; Romanian: Comitetul Executiv al UTA Găgăuzia; Russian: Исполнительный комитет Гагаузии) is the chief executive body of the Autonomous territorial unit of Gagauzia, a territorial autonomous unit within the Republic of Moldova. It comprises a diverse array of officials responsible for governing various administrative and strategic departments. By law, the Committee is elected by the People's Assembly of Gagauzia in its first sitting after the elections, following the proposals of the Başkan. In case the Başkan is unable to fulfill its duties or the post becomes vacant, the first vice president of the Executive Committee takes over its duties. The Committee has the right to initiate legislation in the People's Assembly.[1] Unusually, after the 2023 elections, the Executive Committee could only be voted in the People's Assembly's ninth sitting, on the seventh attempt.[2][3] One of the main points of the Assembly's opposition was the fact that seven of the originally proposed members were unable to speak Gagauz.[4]
