The head of the Omsk region Viktor Nazarov appealed on Thursday to Vladimir Putin with a request for early resignation and participation in the elections in September 2015 (for the law to participate in early elections governors need permission of the President). “I would like to understand the perspectives”, – he explained his request Nazarov. Putin did not object: “If you want to do it ahead of time – please.”
Nazarov, whose term expires in April 2017, was the fourth governor of the past three days, ask for early elections (see. Incision). Elections held in a single voting day, should be appointed in June and May – the last month when you can get the go-ahead for retirement. As potential participants in the parade of retirees in the media and called the leaders of the Sverdlovsk, Tver and Yaroslavl regions.
interlocutors “Vedomosti” in the presidential administration said that the governor actually going to meet the requests coming from the citizens who want to see elected, rather than appointed by the head of the region, “the governor-elect will be able to work with the mandate of trust of the population and thus effectively address the challenges facing the region. ”
The May result
On May twelfth request for early retirement and the participation in the elections to the President asked the governor of Leningrad Region Alexander Drozdenko, May 13 – heads of Kamchatka Krai, Vladimir Ilyukhin and Irkutsk region Sergey Eroschenko.
«The process of transition to the election of governors was launched in 2012, – recalls the head close to the Kremlin Dmitry Badovsky ISEP Fund – and in the last year there was a quantitative fracture: more half of the regions are headed by governors in the status of favorites, while others remain in the status assigned, partly reduces their legitimacy. ” This dual status is felt in relations with the federal center, and with the leaders of neighboring regions, and the sooner it is removed the better for institutional development of the political system, he said. Another reason – the desire to avoid the situation of continuous central electoral process “2016-2018″ and, as a consequence, “electoral fatigue” for the presidential elections in 2018, explains Badovskiy. In addition, for the first time in 13 years in the State Duma will be elected by single-mandate and “given the areas where the district is the region and single-mandate candidates will be elected by virtually the entire population, the governor appointed for this situation can be painful,” the expert emphasizes.
«The Kremlin is the wishes of governors re-elected as soon as possible, for their approval of the federal authorities to go to early elections – is an example of” decorated “relations with the Kremlin” – says political analyst Mikhail Vinogradov: even nominal support center strengthen the position of the governors among the regional elite and voters. Last year, the Kremlin was not until domestic policy – all the forces were thrown on the outside, but now “is the time when the government is not up to foreign policy, but not to the inside, and staff turnover is not perceived as an end in itself”, so governors have good chance “to slip”, explains the expert. Although the direct election of the head does not necessarily mean strengthening its positions stipulated Vinogradov, as evidenced by the scandal may be considered with the elected Bryansk Governor Nikolai Denin, who was fired in 2014 with the most rigid wording “in connection with the loss of confidence.”
«The queue of those wishing to go to early elections traditionally large, the application can write one, but the resolution did not receive all” – says political analyst Yevgeny Minchenko. So before you ask for it, the governor spends much preparatory work and in the region, and at the federal level: “Of course, the election of the governor gives an additional political weight to one thing – appointed, the other – the chosen.” In the case of the Governor of the Irkutsk Region Sergey Eroschenko, for example, it was clear that he wants to be elected ahead of time, so the last year it was conducted against a negative PR campaign by the opponents, said Minchenko, but now the level of support it is, according to various estimates, 62 -68%, and his closest pursuer – only 6%. “The practice of early elections has been around for several years and all allegations that it is receiving from rogue powers, untenable”, – says the expert.
