Background

edit

Voronezh Mayor Aleksandr Gusev was appointed as an acting Governor of Voronezh Oblast in December 2017, replacing second-term incumbent Alexey Gordeyev, who was elevated to the position of Presidential Envoy to the Central Federal District.[2] Gusev won gubernatorial election in September 2018 with 72.52% of the vote.[3]

If Gusev forgoes his re-election bid and retires early, several candidates will be considered for his replacement, including Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Russia Maksim Uvaydov, Voronezh Oblast Duma Speaker Vladimir Netyosov, State Duma member Andrey Markov, Vice Governors Sergey Sokolov and Vitaly Shabalatov, and Deputy Prime Minister of Voronezh Oblast Artyom Verkhovtsev, all of whom are thought to be allies of Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Alexey Gordeyev, himself Governor of Voronezh Oblast in 2009–2017.[4]
