The 2024 Tula Oblast gubernatorial election will take place on 6–8 September 2024, on common election day, coinciding with 2024 Tula Oblast Duma election. Acting Governor Dmitry Milyayev is eligible to run for a full term in office.

Background

Then–Deputy Minister of Defense Aleksey Dyumin was appointed acting Governor of Tula Oblast in February 2016, replacing Vladimir Gruzdev.[1] Dyumin ran for a full term in September 2016 as an Independent and won the election with 84.17% of the vote.[2] Dyumin was reelected to a second term in 2021 with 83.58%.[3]

Dyumin, a close confidant of President Vladimir Putin and one of his so-called "adjutants", has been consistently considered for a potential promotion in defense or security services (as Minister of Defense or potential Minister of Defense Industry) but the governor himself denied those rumours.[4] On May 14, 2024, President Putin appointed Governor Aleksey Dyumin as his aide in charge of military-industrial complex, sports, and State Council.[5] [6]

After his appointment, Governor Dyumin left Tula on May 14, 2024, leaving First Deputy Governor Dmitry Milyayev as acting Governor until the temporary replacement be appointed by the President.[7] On May 15 President Putin appointed Dmitry Milyayev as acting Governor of Tula Oblast.[8]
