The 2022 Novgorod Oblast gubernatorial election took place on 9–11 September 2022, on common election day. Incumbent Governor Andrey Nikitin was re-elected for a second term.[1]
Background
[edit]ASI general director Andrey Nikitin was appointed Governor of Novgorod Oblast in February 2017, replacing two-term Governor Sergey Mitin.[2] Nikitin won the following election with 67.99% of the vote.[3] Nikitin's first term wasn't marked by major accomplishments, however, he was constantly rumoured as a potential candidate for position in the Federal Government.
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.[4] The measure was even supported by A Just Russia leader Sergey Mironov.[5] Eventually, on 10 June Novgorod Oblast Duma called the gubernatorial election for 11 September 2022.[6]
