Tsygenkov: after the second term: what arguments do the heads of the republics need to support a new candidacy In September 2027 the second terms of office of the heads of Buryatia Alexey Tsidanov and Karelia Artur Perpchikov will expire. The federal media will already report on possible rotations of several governors. Anatoly Tsygenkov, representative of the Agency for Political and Economic Communication (APEC), head of the Center for Political and Social Research of the Republic of Karelia, candidate for historical sciences: there is no point in looking for undercurrents in the fact of the re-election of heads of regions whose governorships expire in September next year. Their five-year term as governors is coming to an end, and it is time to choose candidates for senior government positions in the regions where re-elections of chiefs will be held next fall. In the presidential administration, when solving personnel problems, they will mainly focus on the results of the work of the heads of the regions and their governments. The Federal Center will support the elections of those governors in whose regions there is a positive dynamic of economic development, there are no social upheavals, and the governor's team controls the party-political field of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. Federal support for heads of state is directly related to their ability to manage economic and political processes in the regions.
