Championships and achievements

Political career

In 2011 Tedeev attempted to participate in South Ossetias presidential elections of that year, however, was disqualified because he did not meet the 10-year residency requirement to hold the office.[3] He ultimately supported the candidacy of Alla Dzhioeva, a long time opposition leader, who won the election, but had her victory annulled at Russia's behest.[3]

Tedeyev started to become more involved in the politics in 2023 when he established his own political party, Patriots of Alania to contest the parliamentary elections in 2024.[3] However, the party had registered after the six-month deadline for the election, and was not able to participate.[4] Tedeyev attempted to "buy" the Unity Party but the party stated it would rather go bankrupt than sell its leadership.[5][6] Ultimately the People's Party approved a merger with Patriots of Alania which resulted in the party fragmenting as three of their five MPs left the party in protest of the merger, insisting Patriots of Alania had no ideological similarities to the People's Party.[4] The leadership of the People's Party stated that they approved the merger in exchange "for extensive monetary support."[4]
