- According to Central Election Commission data, Kadyrov won 99.85% of the vote, while opponents Ismail Denilkhanov, chairman of Chechnya's Public Chamber, and Khalid Nakaev, member of Chechnya's parliament, each received 0.05%.
- Rejecting criticism as 'Western-backed' attempts to undermine his rule, Kadyrov consistently denies allegations of widespread human rights violations leveled by international observers.
- Kadyrov maintains wide leeway from Putin to run Chechnya as his 'personal fiefdom' in return for ensuring regional stability following the Islamist, anti-Russian insurgency that raged during the 1990s.
