The Mayor of Nizhny Novgorod is head of the executive branch of the political system in Nizhny Novgorod, the Administration of Nizhny Novgorod. Since May 6, 2020 the position is occupied by Yury Shalabayev.[1]
The mayor is not elected by popular vote, but appointed as a result of the closed vote of city council deputies.
From 1991 to 2010 there was a single-headed system of legislative and executive power. From 2010 to 2017, city government was divided between two positions - the head of the city, who led the City Duma, and the head of the city administration (city manager).
On October 26, 2017, a law was approved to return the one-head system, in which the mayor of the city is also vested with the powers of the head of administration.[2] In December 2017, a return to this management system began.[3] The post of Chairman of the City Duma, abolished in 2010, was restored.
There are no direct elections for the mayor of the city. He is appointed by the decision of the City Duma, during a closed vote of deputies.
