Lev Shamba was reappointed as Administration Head on 10 May 2001 following the March 2001 local elections. On 16 June 2003,
President Vladislav Ardzinba assented to Shamba's request for dismissal and replaced him with First Deputy Minister for Education
Beslan Dbar. On 29 March 2005, newly elected President
Sergei Bagapsh replaced Beslan Dbar as the Head of Gudauta's Administration by Daur Vozba. During the
February 2011 assembly elections,
Daur Vozba failed to be re-elected by a margin of 92 votes.
Sergei Bagapsh appointed
Valeri Malia as his successor on 23 February. On 17 February, during its first session, the new Gudauta District assembly elected Roman Bazba its chairman, with 22 out of 29 votes, and Fyodor Sakania its Deputy Chairman. On 1 November 2011, Abkhazia's Prosecutor General announced that he had initiated criminal proceedings against former Administration Head Daur Vozba, for abuse of power. Vozba is alleged to have signed a decree on 11 August 2006, handing over two most valuable plots of coastal land to two individuals, which would have required authorisation by the Cabinet of Ministers. Following the
May 2014 Revolution and the election of
Raul Khajimba as President, on 23 September 2014 he replaced Malia as Administration Head with
Ruslan Ladaria.
