The 2024 Altai Republic head election will take place on 8 September 2024, on common election day, coinciding with 2024 Altai Republic State Assembly election. Incumbent Head Oleg Khorokhordin is eligible to run to a second term in office.
Background[edit]
Oleg Khorokhordin, then-Federal Government Apparatus staffer and GLONASS board chairman, was appointed acting Head of the Altai Republic in March 2019.[1] Khorokhordin replaced three-term incumbent Alexander Berdnikov, who resigned at his own request[2] and was later appointed Rosgeologia executive.[3]
Khorokhordin, officially an Independent, was nominated for a full term by United Russia. The 2019 election was regarded as highly competitive with some experts viewed the possibility of a second round.[4] Khorokhordin won the election with 58.82% of the vote in the second closest election of the cycle (the margin, however, was still overwhelming), defeating former State Duma member Viktor Romashkin (CPRF) by 27 points.[5]
