Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin has signed an order relieving Alexander Nikitin of his position as state secretary and deputy minister of sport, according to a government document.
The order follows Nikitin's election as a deputy to the State Duma, Russia's lower house of parliament, for the ninth convocation, running as a candidate for the ruling United Russia party.
Nikitin's move from a government ministry post to a seat in parliament reflects a common career path among Russian officials, who often transition between executive and legislative roles. No successor to the deputy minister post was named in the available reporting.
The Ministry of Sport has not issued further public comment on the change in available reporting.
