With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Ramzan Kadyrov won 99.85 percent of the vote in the election for head of Chechnya, according to data from Russia’s Central Election Commission. This was Kadyrov’s third election since taking charge of the republic in 2007. He received 99.7 percent of the vote in 2021 and 97.94 percent in 2016. The only candidate for governor or regional head in Russia to win a larger share was Ruslan Aushev, who received 99.9 percent in Ingushetia’s 1993 presidential election, in which he was the sole candidate.
