Background

edit

Due to massive irregularities in the second round of the September 2018 Primorsky Krai gubernatorial election between acting Governor of Primorsky Krai Andrey Tarasenko (United Russia) and businessman Andrey Ishchenko (CPRF) the results were annulled.[1] Another gubernatorial election was scheduled for December 2018. On 26 September 2018 Tarasenko declined to seek a full term and resigned, President Vladimir Putin appointed then-Governor of Sakhalin Oblast Oleg Kozhemyako as acting Governor of Primorsky Krai.[2] For Kozhemyako, a Primorsky Krai native, who built a large fishing business and served as Federation Council Senator from the region, it is a fourth governorship as he previously led Sakhalin Oblast (2015–2018), Amur Oblast (2008–2015) and Koryak Autonomous Okrug (2005–2007) – an unbeaten record among Russian politicians. Kozhemyako ran for a full term as an Independent and won with 61.9% of the vote, while September election runner-up Andrey Ishchenko lost the support from Communist Party and failed to collect enough signatures to qualify.[3]

Oleg Kozhemyako maintained a high profile as governor persuading to move Far Eastern Federal District administrative centre from Khabarovsk to Vladivostok, transforming regional government structure, visiting Donbass and holding meetings with prominent officeholders, such as President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko.
