Normat Tolkinovich Tursunov, who has served as governor of the Navoi region since 2021, has been officially confirmed in his role. This confirmation took place on November 5 during the first session of the seventh convocation of the Navoi Regional Council of People's Deputies, as reported by the regional government press service.

The session began with an update on the October 27 election results, presented by the chairman of the regional election commission. Deputy Aliyev Gafir Kuvatovich, representing the 30th Tamabakhrin electoral district, was elected chairman of the Council of People's Deputies of the Navoi region. In addition, the session included the registration of party groups, approval of council regulations, and adoption of standing committee guidelines.

Following a consultation, Normat Tursunov was unanimously confirmed as governor. In Uzbekistan, regional governors are nominated by the President, with confirmation following consultation with the local Council of People's Deputies. Governors are appointed for a five-year term, with the law stipulating that they cannot serve more than two consecutive terms in the same region.

According to Article 123 of the Constitution, governors are responsible for implementing the Constitution and national laws, decisions by the chambers of the Oliy Majlis, presidential decrees and orders, and Cabinet decisions. Their duties also include fostering economic, social, cultural, and environmental progress in their regions and managing the regional budget.

Tursunov’s career began in 1994 in the state tax service. He has since held various roles, including deputy head of the state tax department in the Jizzakh region, head of the state tax department in the Navoi region, deputy chairman of the State Tax Committee, and head of the Tashkent State Tax Department. He became acting governor of Navoi in 2021 and was officially appointed as governor in 2022.

Earlier, Erkinjon Turdimov (Samarkand) and Jorabek Rahimov (Khorezm) were also confirmed in their respective governorships by their regional councils.
