Lyudvig Alekseyevich Chibirov (born November 19, 1932) is an important leader from South Ossetia. He was the Chairman of the Parliament and later became the very first President of South Ossetia.
Before becoming president, Mr. Chibirov was the head of South Ossetia's government starting in 1993. When the role of 'Chairman of the Parliament' changed to 'President,' he was chosen to be the first person to hold this new, important job.
Becoming President
In the 1996 elections, Lyudvig Chibirov won with 65% of the votes. His main opponent was Vladislav Gabaraev, who received about 20% of the votes. Mr. Gabaraev wanted South Ossetia to separate from Georgia and join with North Ossetia in Russia.
The President of Georgia at the time, Eduard Shevardnadze, said these elections were "unlawful." However, Mr. Chibirov still took office as the first President of South Ossetia.
The 2001 Election
In the next presidential elections in 2001, Lyudvig Chibirov, who was 69 years old, received less than 20% of the votes.
The election was won by Eduard Kokoity, who was 38 years old at the time. Mr. Kokoity received more than 48% of the votes, becoming the next president of South Ossetia.
