Chechen President from WikiPedia:

The President of the Chechen Republic, known commonly as the President of Chechnya, is the highest office within the Government of Chechnya. The office was instituted in 2003 during the course of the Second Chechen War, when the Russian federal government regained control over the region.

According to the article 66 of the Constitution of the Chechen Republic, a citizen of Russia, no younger than 30 years old, may be elected President. The presidential term is 4 years; one person cannot remain President for more than 2 terms in succession. The President is not allowed to be at the same time a deputy of the Parliament of the Chechen Republic, or deputy of a representative body of local self-government.
