Chapter

In December 2010, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed a law that forbade calling the heads of subjects of the Russian Federation the word "president", while the regions could choose the name for the leader in accordance with their historical traditions. The regions had to bring their constitutions or statutes in line with the adopted law before January 1, 2015. In July 2011, deputies of the People’s Assembly of the Republic of Dagestan unanimously supported the law on amendments to the constitution of the republic, changing the name of the highest post from “ President of the Republic of Dagestan ” to “ Head of the Republic of Dagestan ”. The changes approved it immediately in two readings ^[8] , and then the law was signed by the President of Dagestan M. Magomedov . The law came into force on January 1, 2014 ^{[9] [10]} .

The head is elected for a term of 5 years and cannot hold the specified position for more than two consecutive terms ^[13] .

In the fall of 2012, a law on a single voting day was adopted, according to which elections in Russia will be held only once a year - on the second Sunday of September ^[14] . Previously, regional and local elections were held twice a year - in March and October.

In his opinion, the parliament will most likely be chosen as the head, since it is necessary to take into account the specificity of the republic. At the same time, Abdulatipov said that he was closer to the nation-wide election in which he was ready to run. ^[16] On April 18, the deputies of the National Assembly of Dagestan voted for the opportunity to independently appoint the head of the republic. 74 deputies voted in favor, 9 deputies voted against, three abstained. Thus, the Republic of Dagestan became the first subject of the Russian Federation, which refused to directly elect the head of the region. ^[17]

Then the deputies of the National Assembly decided that to vote on candidates for the office of President of the Republic, they would gather at an extraordinary session on the United Day of Voting on September 8, 2013 . On August 19, Russian President Vladimir Putin submitted three candidates for the post of head of the republic to the consideration of the Dagestan People’s Assembly: and. about. Ramazan Abdulatipov, President of Dagestan; Malik Bagliev, Minister of Labor and Social Development of the Republic; and Ummupazil Omarov, Ombudsman for Dagestan. On September 8, 2013, the deputies of the National Assembly by a majority vote elected Ramazan Abdulatipov as president of Dagestan. 86 out of 88 deputies voted for his candidacy. Within half an hour Abdulatipov took the oath and took office. ^[18]
