Background
Then-Federal Antimonopoly Service department head Dmitry Makhonin was appointed acting Governor of Perm Krai in February 2020, replacing first-term incumbent Maxim Reshetnikov, who was appointed Minister of Economic Development of Russia.[1] Makhonin ran for a full term as an Independent with the support from United Russia[2] and won the election with 75.69% of the vote.[3]
In 2021 Makhonin agreed to lead United Russia for the upcoming Russian legislative election in Perm Krai as well as Legislative Assembly of Perm Krai election, however, after the election Makhonin declined to take both seats and remained governor.[4] In November 2023 Makhonin officially joined United Russia and became secretary of the party regional office.[5]
In March 2025 Governor Makhonin had a meeting with President Vladimir Putin, however, the governor did not announce his intentions regarding next gubernatorial term in the publicly available part of the meeting. The next day Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov clarified that Makhonin intended to run for a second term in office and was endorsed by Putin.[6]
