The 2025 Bryansk Oblast gubernatorial election will take place on 12–14 September 2025, on common election day. Incumbent governor of Bryansk Oblast Alexander Bogomaz is running for a third term in office.
Background
Member of State Duma Alexander Bogomaz was appointed acting governor of Bryansk Oblast in September 2014 after previous incumbent Nikolay Denin was dismissed after a criminal case was opened against him.[1] Bogomaz ran for a full term in 2015 and overwhelmingly won the election with 79.96% of the vote after CPRF and LDPR declined to field own candidates.[2] Governor Bogomaz won re-election to a second term in 2020 with 71.69% of the vote.[3]
Initially Governor of Bryansk Oblast was limited for just two consecutive terms so Bogomaz would have been term-limited in 2025. However, in December 2021 "On Common Principles of Organisation of Public Authority in the Subjects of the Russian Federation" law was enacted, which lifted term limits for Russian governors.[4] Bryansk Oblast followed suit and lifted the restrictions, which allowed Bogomaz to seek another term in 2025.
Bogomaz was viewed as a potential candidate for replacement as governor prior to the 2025 election.[5] Among reasons for Bogomaz's potential resignation experts cited his long tenure in office, corruption cases involving regional officials (among those arrested were deputy governors Yelena Yegorova and Tatyana Kuleshova in 2023, Aleksandr Petrochenko in 2024)[6][7] conflicts with Security Council of Russia secretary Sergey Shoigu as well as Ukrainian incursions into Bryansk Oblast.[8][9]
In February 2025 during a meeting with President Vladimir Putin Governor Bogomaz announced his intention to run for a third term and received Putin's endorsement.[10]
