Presidential elections were held in the disputed territory of South Ossetia on 10 April 2022.[1] As none of the presidential nominees obtained at least 50% of the votes, a runoff was held on 8 May 2022,[2] between the top two candidates, Alan Gagloev and incumbent president Anatoly Bibilov.[3]

Prior to the run-off, Gagloyev received endorsements from the three candidates eliminated in the first round, Alexandr Pliyev, Garri Muldarov, and Dmitry Tasoyev, heading into the runoff against incumbent president Anatoly Biblov.[3] Gagloyev went on to win with 56.1% of the vote,[4][5] while Bibilov conceded defeat on the election night.[6]
