Esokh Neranez

Esokh Neranez Entrotiekh (Koxori: /ˈe.sox neˈɾa.net̪ enˈtɾo.tʲɪx/; 21 June 1875 – 23 May 1961) was a Koxoriek politician and revolutionary. He served as Head of the Imperial House in 1920, Head of the Federal Council from 1921 to 1922, Second Minister from 1922 to 1925 and First Minister from 1926 to 1932.

Early life and involvement with Republican movement
Neranez was born to Zemeti Neranez Entrotiekh and his wife Akhrana Nakhar. His father was the 7th Lord of Jekher and Asher from 1882 – 1921 and Member of the Imperial House for Asher from 1884 – 1920. He was trained into politics from a young age, but held none of his father's strong conservative views. Unlike his father, he never became a Member of the Imperial House, but was part of Asher District Council from 1900 to 1919, in which he controversially voted against many proposals to increase the government's authority. These views made Neranez a prime candidate for involvement in Antanikh Terelai's democratic protests.

In December 1919, Neranez was invited to Hamezurakhel by Terelai to become one of the four founding members of the organised Republican movement (the others being Lakhtar Nasor and Reme Sarakhir). Ezari Nemelaj had previously been offered the position, but turned it down. Neranez became the administrative leader of the operation, helping Terelai draft the first version of the Koxoriek Constitution.
