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]
