Alexander Bitarov appointed acting chairman of the government of Irkutsk region

In the Irkutsk region, Alexander Bitarov, chairman of the board of directors of OJSC FSK New City, has been appointed acting chairman of the government. This is due to changes in the regional charter, under which the powers of the governor and head of government are now separated, and the latter's candidacy must be approved by the Legislative Assembly. The issue is expected to be considered at the October 21 session, and the new government may be presented after the governor's inauguration.

As reported on October 5, 2015 by a source in the election headquarters of the region’s governor, Alexander Bitarov, chairman of the board of directors of OJSC FSK New City, has been appointed acting chairman of the Government of the Irkutsk Region.
Recall that, according to amendments to the Charter of the Irkutsk Region, the powers of the governor and the chairman of the government are now separated. The candidacy of the latter is submitted by the head of the Angara region to the Legislative Assembly for approval. Most likely, this will happen at the session on October 21.
Sergey Georgievich had planned to propose the main figures of the new government immediately after the inauguration. But on October 5 he flew to Moscow for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. It was previously reported that former Legislative Assembly speaker Lyudmila Berlina and former Irkutsk mayor Viktor Kondrashov may receive job offers from the new governor.
