Sverdlovsk's "United Russia" select a new leader instead of Evgeny Kuivashev.
At a United Russia party conference in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Dennis Pasler was appointed as the regional branch's head, garnering 189 votes over his competitor, Sergey Nikonov, who gained only two votes. The election proceedings were not without humor, with some light-hearted jabs directed at Nikonov for listing an additional surname on the ballot.
Maxim Ivanov, a deputy of the State Duma, encouraged votes for Pasler, acting governor of the region in an interim capacity. Later, during Pasler's speech after his election, he emphasized his responsibility for the development of the Middle Urals and fulfilling the social expectations of the region's residents.
According to previous reports, Dmitry Medvedev, chairman of United Russia, publicly supported Pasler's candidacy for this position in May.
The former governor of Sverdlovsk Oblast, Yevgeny Kuyvashev, resigned from his position as the head of United Russia's local branch in May, following his departure from the governorship. Kuyvashev had been in charge of the organization since 2022.
The whereabouts of Kuyvashev remain unclear as he has not yet announced his new position. Previous reports suggested that he was under investigation.
Kuyvashev stepped down from his post on March 26, 2025, with Denis Pasler succeeding him as acting governor of Sverdlovsk Oblast until the September elections.
