The 2022 Republic of Karelia head election took place on 9–11 September 2022, on common election day. Incumbent Head Artur Parfenchikov was re-elected to a second term.[1]

Background

Federal Bailiffs Service Director Artur Parfenchikov was appointed Head of Karelia in February 2017, replacing Alexander Khudilainen.[2] Officially an Independent, Parfenchikov was nominated by United Russia as its head candidate in the following election, which he won with 61.34%.[3]

During first term Parfenchikov faced numerous rumours about his potential resignation due to regional elite conflicts and general lack of accomplishments.[4] In the 2021 Russian legislative election United Russia received 31.69% in Karelia, its 7th worst result nationally,[5] which further fuelled speculations about Parfenchikov's replacement. However, Vedomosti reported in January 2022 that Artur Parfenchikov most likely would retain his position,[6] and in May 2022 President Vladimir Putin endorsed Parfenchikov for reelection.[7]

Due to the start of Russian special military operation in Ukraine in February 2022 and subsequent economic sanctions the cancellation and postponement of direct gubernatorial elections was proposed.[8] The measure was even supported by A Just Russia leader Sergey Mironov.[9] Eventually, the postponement never occurred, as on 3 June Legislative Assembly of the Republic of Karelia called head election for 11 September 2022.[10]

In February 2022 regional CPRF and SR-ZP revealed that the parties were discussing a potential coalition in the upcoming election: one party would nominate a candidate for Head of Karelia, while candidate of the other party would be appointed to the Federation Council.[11]
