Parliamentary elections were held in South Ossetia[a] on 9 June 2024 to determine the composition of the South Ossetian Parliament, the legislature of the partially recognized Caucasian Republic of South Ossetia, which most of the United Nations recognizes as part of Georgia. In the 2022 presidential elections South Ossetia's opposition came to power for the first time since 2012, however, the government has been plagued by scandals.[2]

Prior to the election, the incumbent government of South Ossetia was a minority government led by Nykhaz, in coalition with the People's Party of South Ossetia and the Unity of the People party, as well as a number of independents.

Of the 34 seats in Parliament, 17 are awarded via a proportional system, where, United Ossetia, the long-time formerly ruling party of former President Anatoly Bibilov, won the most votes, at 31.75%, with Nykhaz of incumbent president Alan Gagloev coming in a close second with 30.59%, with both parties winning 6 seats.[3] However, the other 17 seats are determined via constituencies, where Nykhaz won an additional 4 seats outright to United Ossetia's 1, putting the total seat share at 10 for Nykhaz, making them the largest party, and 7 for United Ossetia.[3] Additionally, 3 independents that were elected announced that they would caucus with Nykhaz in Parliament, increasing their seats to 13, which, coupled with their coalition partner in the People's Party winning 5 seats, puts the governing coalition at 18 seats, the exact amount needed for a majority.[3]

Background

[edit]

2024 is proving to be a pivotal year in the south Caucasus, namely due to the 2023 Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh resolving the longstanding Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, allowing for normalization between Russia and Turkey, meaning that there will likely be a reduction, or even removal, of Russian peacekeepers from the region altogether.[4] Additionally, Russia has been using a softer approach regarding South Ossetia when compared to Abkhazia, hoping that this will allow for easier harmonization with the Georgian government, which has been notably more conciliatory towards Russia in recent years.[5] Namely, Russia is seemingly supportive of a softer, less Russophilic, South Ossetia if it means a détente with the Georgian Dream-led Georgia. However, should Georgian Dream lose the October Georgian election, this would likely result in the new Georgian government to rally towards the return of control of their borders and evict Russia and their separatists from Abkhazia and South Ossetia.[6] However, several high ranking South Ossetian officials have been in talks with the Russian government regarding the annexation of South Ossetia should Georgia dramatically move in a pro-western direction.[7]

Alan Gagloev has been the President of South Ossetia since his election in 2022. Gagloev, president of the Nykhaz party, was a leading figure of the South Ossetian opposition, characterized for their more pragmatic approach with Russia and the support of domestic economic ventures.[2] However, parliament remained under control of Gagloev's opposition, the South Ossetian political establishment, United Ossetia.[2] Gagloyev is facing opposition from both the Russian government and the South Ossetian public due to Gagloyev's scandalous cabinet which has failed to resolve, and worsened, many of the republic's economic problems.[2] However, the Russian government remains non-committal in their opposition, as Gagloyev has been supportive of South Ossetians fighting in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with by the end of 2023, hundreds of South Ossetians dying in battle there.[2] Pundits from the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute (CACI) have speculated that Russia is going to have to make the choice to either support Gagloyev and redirect funds from the Russian Invasion of Ukraine to keep South Ossetia supportive of the war effort.[2] Or oppose Gagloyev for a more traditional South Ossetian government at the cost of South Ossetia's aid in the war.[2] Additionally, CACI speculated on a third outcome, a status quo, which would cripple the Republic until the 2027 South Ossetian presidential election and could spell total political collapse.[2]

New parties

[edit]

Since the 2019 election, and namely with Gagloev reverting many of the restrictive election laws, seven new political parties were created to compete in the 2024 election. These include:

On 6 May 2024, Gagloev reinstated many of the repressive election laws, limiting participation to just Nykhas, United Ossetia, the Communist Party, the People’s Party, Unity of the People, Ira Farn, and Unity as well as ending the ability for Ossetians abroad in Abkhazia, a United Ossetia stronghold, to vote, closing its polling station in Sukhumi citing “the impracticality of its operation.”[10] Former allies of Gagloev, Garri Muldarov and David Sanakoyev, who founded the For Justice party, protested being excluded. Claiming that "The ruling party ‘Nykhas’ blatantly disregards the law" and that "The election campaign is conducted outside the boundaries of both law and decency."[10]

Aftermath

[edit]

After the preliminary results were released Nykhas declared a "decisive" victory in the election, claiming a parliamentary majority.[20] Nykhas was largely supported in the rural countryside, while United Ossetia saw its support from South Ossetia's urban core of Tskhinval.[21]

During the election, supporters of United Ossetia posted to Telegram claiming fraud, stating that voting stations in United Ossetia strongholds were outfitted with disappearing ink.[20] This, combined with the Central Election Commission (CEC) widely changing the reported vote share several times during the counting exasperated issues; initially United Ossetia was reported to have won 45.67% to Nykhas' 29.59%, before changing the report to say United Ossetia won 32% to Nykhas' 29.93%, while Nykhas has maintained it received 31.17%.[20] United Ossetia's leadership from the front steps of their headquarters demanded that the results from the Vladikavkaz polling station, where supporters claimed disappearing ink pens were used, be nullified and rejected by the CEC, otherwise they would reject the election, and any subsequent government, as legitimate.[20] CEC head Emilia Gagieva refused the demands.[20] On 13 June 2024, the State Information Agency issued a statement from the CEC where they reported that the CEC took the accusations seriously and launched a comprehensive investigation into the allegations of fraud that United Ossetia levied, but that the investigation showed no signs of foul play.[22]

Both the Communist Party and the Ira Farn Party denounced calls for a violent overthrow of the Nykhaz regime, urging for calm and for all parties to observe order and not provoke new crises.[21] Caucasian Knot, interviewing a number of locals and political scientists, concluded that the results of the election were genuine, and that United Ossetia had simply underestimated the power of the rural voter that Nykhaz has centered its regime on.[21]

With the results there is only one opposition party in South Ossetia, United Ossetia, with the People's Party retaining their spot in the governing coalition, and with the Communist Party continuing their policy of supporting the President, regardless of their political affiliation.[23] Nykhas also saw a large overturn in its MPs, with most of the party list being newcomers loyal to Gagloev’s circle.[23] This includes Alan Margiev, Gagloev’s head of the presidential administration, Alan Pliev, Gagloev’s presidential aide, and Ruslan Khubezov, the chairman of Nykhas' committee for youth policy and sports. Additional Nykhas member district representatives are almost exclusively newcomers. [23]

Following the CEC's refusal to investigate their allegations of voter fraud, United Ossetia boycotted the opening of Parliament, at which, Alan Margiev was named the Speaker, and the three vice speaker positions went to Nykhaz's chairwoman Zita Besayeva, and the chairmen of the People's Party and the Communists respectively.[24] Despite this, the CEC's chairwoman refused to certify the results of the election, and held a recount, which saw the Communists drop below the 7% threshold to enter parliament, but where still awarded two seats (one from district results, and the other being the vice speaker since he was already sworn in), while both Nykhaz and United Ossetia had their mandates drop from 7 seats to 6 each.[24] United Osstia continued to claim fraud, claiming that there where only 500 registered voters in the Leningor district but over 700 voted, and accused Nykhaz of being Kartvelophiles, and alleged they bussed in Georgians to vote in the election there.[24] United Ossetia also claimed that four polling stations in Tskhinvali, their stronghold, reported a 0% turnout. The CEC also stated that they issued 20,033 ballots, but received 22,983.[24]
