Background

Then-Prime Minister of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov was elected President of Tatarstan by the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan in March 2010 after incumbent Mintimer Shaimiev declined to seek a fifth term. [1] Minnikhanov won the subsequent direct presidential elections in 2015 and 2020 with 94.40% and 83.27% of the vote respectively. [2] [3] In February 2023 State Council of Tatarstan renamed the position of "President of the Republic of Tatarstan" as "Head of the Republic of Tatarstan", in accordance with the federal law after initial reluctance of the Tatar authorities. [4]

Initially the Head of the Republic of Tatarstan was limited for just two consecutive terms so Minnikhanov would have been term-limited in 2025 (as his 2015–2020 would have been counted as first since the re-introduction of direct gubernatorial elections). However, in December 2021 "On Common Principles of Organisation of Public Authority in the Subjects of the Russian Federation" law was enacted (coincidentally, the same law prevented the head of Tatarstan to be named "President"), which lifted term limits for Russian governors. [5] Tatarstan followed suit and lifted the restrictions, which allowed Minnikhanov to seek another term in 2025. As of 2025, Minnikhanov is the second-longest serving Russian governor only behind Ramzan Kadyrov, who has served as Head of the Chechen Republic since 2007. [6]
