In March 2019 first-term Governor of Chelyabinsk Oblast Boris Dubrovsky announced his resignation and was replaced by First Deputy Minister of Energy Aleksey Teksler.[1] Teksler was previously viewed as the likely replacement for Governor of Murmansk Oblast Marina Kovtun, who resigned two days after Teksler's appointment to Chelyabinsk Oblast.[2] Dubrovsky's resignation was expected as in August 2018 he was indicted for conspiracy by the Federal Antimonopoly Service,[3] Dubrovsky later fled Russia and was charged with abuse of power in October 2019.[4]
Teksler ran for a full term as an Independent and handily won the September 2019 election with 69.30% of the vote, as his nearest challenger, Konstantin Natsiyevsky (CPRF), received just 12.02%.[5] In June 2020 Governor Teksler joined United Russia party,[6] and later this year led the party list in the Legislative Assembly of Chelyabinsk Oblast election.[7]
