“The official appointment of the election of the head of Chuvashia will take place in June. The elections themselves will be held on a single voting day on September 13, 2020, ”the republic’s election commission said.

Earlier, a member of the Central Election Commission, Yevgeny Shevchenko, said that the election of the head of Chuvashia will be held as scheduled, on a single voting day on September 13, 2020.

On January 29, Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed Ignatieff due to a loss of confidence.

The decision was made after a record appeared on the network that showed how Ignatiev was forcing the EMERCOM employee to jump behind the keys to new service vehicles.

In the Ministry of Emergencies, Chuvashia called the incident a "friendly joke."
