The 2023 Chukotka Autonomous Okrug gubernatorial election took place on 8–10 September 2023, on common election day. Acting Governor Vladislav Kuznetsov was elected for a full term.

Background

[edit]

In July 2008 then-Governor of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug Roman Abramovich asked for his resignation, which was approved by President Dmitry Medvedev, who in turn appointed Deputy Governor Roman Kopin as Abramovich's replacement.[1] A week later Kopin was unanimously elected to the position by members of Duma of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. After direct gubernatorial election were returned in 2012, Kopin won reelection to his second term in 2013 with 79.84% of the vote.[2] Kopin won election to his third term in 2018 with just 57.83% losing to LDPR candidate Yulia Butakova in okrug's capital Anadyr and nearly triggering a runoff.[3]

By 2023 Roman Kopin led the remote region for 14 years, second-longest to Head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov. The length of Kopin's gubernatorial tenure and lack of notable accomplishments, coupled with gradual withdrawal of Roman Abramovich from politics, led to speculations about governor's possible resignation. In early 2023 the governor was rumoured to be considering not running for a fourth term in office and eventual retirement.[4] On 15 March Roman Kopin asked President Vladimir Putin for resignation, which was granted. Putin then appointed First Deputy Prime Minister of Lugansk People's Republic Vladislav Kuznetsov, a former Sibur executive, as acting Governor of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.[5]
