Alan Gagloev
Alan Eduardovich Gagloev (Iron Ossetic: Гаглойты Эдуарды фырт Алан, romanized: Gaglojty Edwardy fyrt Alan; Russian: Алан Эдуардович Гаглоев; born 6 February 1981), also transliterated as Gagloyev, is a South Ossetian politician and former intelligence officer, who is the fifth and current president of South Ossetia since 2022. He also served as chairman of the Nykhaz party from 2020 to 2023.
Alan Gagloev was born on 6 February 1981, in Tskhinvali. He graduated from the South Ossetian State University in 2002 and was hired by the Ministry of Economic Development of South Ossetia as the chief specialist of the department for supporting small and medium-sized businesses.
He fought in the Russo-Georgian War in 2008. During the war, Gagloev's family "suffered heavy losses".
He ran unsuccessfully for president of South Ossetia in 2017, losing to Anatoly Bibilov. After his loss, he announced the creation of his own political party, the Alanian Union in September 2017. However, in May 2018, the South Ossetian Ministry of Justice refused to register the party. In January 2019, the Alanian Union joined New Ossetia who merged with the party Nykhaz. Gagloev went on to be elected chairman of Nykhaz in February 2020.
Gagloev ran for president a second time in the 2022 election. On 10 April 2022, he won the first round with 36.9% of the vote, passing incumbent president Anatoly Bibilov. Prior to the run-off, Gagloev received endorsements from the three candidates eliminated in the first round, Alexandr Pliyev, Garri Muldarov, and Dmitry Tasoyev, heading into the runoff against Bibilov. Bibilov had been endorsed by United Russia, the ruling party of Russia.
Gagloev defeated Bibilov in the run-off with 56.08% of the vote on 8 May 2022. Bibilov admitted defeat in the elections, congratulated Gagloev and wished him "successful work for the good of the people".
Following his election, he was sworn in as the new president on 24 May 2022. Domestically, Gagloev said the main issue of his presidency would be taking steps to improve the economy. Zita Besayeva was elected to replace him as leader of Nykhaz in February 2023.
Gagloev was seen by observers as being less supportive of holding a referendum to join Russia, saying that Russia was "still busy with other issues," in reference to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov further stated on 24 May that in regards to the referendum, "No steps are being taken or planned by the Russian side connected with this." On 30 May 2022, Gagloev suspended the referendum called by his predecessor Bibilov until consultations with Russia are complete.
