GROZNY, Russia — The
Kremlin’s hand-picked man to
lead Chechnya was declared the
winner Monday in the region’s
presidential vote, a widely
expected outcome praised by
President Vladimir Putin as a
sign of hope to end the bloody
insurgency here born of nearly a
decade of war.
Akhmad Kadyrov, acting
president of Chechnya and pre
viously the leading Muslim
cleric in this Caucasus province,
received 81.1 percent of the vote
with more than 77 percent of
votes counted, said regional
election commission chairman
Abdul-Kerim Arsakhanov.
Turnout was 85 percent, he said.
Putin, not surprisingly,
applauded Sunday’s election,
which came after a March refer
endum on a new constitution for
Chechnya that reaffirmed its
status as part of Russia.
“The very fact of such a high
turnout shows that people have
hope — hope for a better life,
for positive changes in the life
of the republic,” Putin said at a
Cabinet meeting.
Stanislav Ilyasov, Russia’s
minister for Chechen affairs,
said Russian and Chechen offi
cials would sign a treaty outlin
ing the local authorities’ sphere
of control by the end of the year.
Chechnya “will engage in the
rehabilitation of its facilities on its
own and manage its own
resources,” Ilyasov said Monday,
according to ITAR-Tass news
agency. There must also be elec
tions for a parliament.
The results were seen as a
foregone conclusion after two
candidates rating higher than
Kadyrov in early opinion polls
didn’t appear on the ballot —
one withdrawing to become an
adviser to Putin and the other
barred from running by the
Chechen Supreme Court. Six
virtually unknown candidates
ran against Kadyrov, who was
once allied with the rebels.
Akhmad Kadyrov, the acting
Chechen president by Kremlin
orders, was declared the winner
of a widely criticized presidential
election Monday.

Speaking to Rossiya state
television outside his home in
the Chechen village
Tsentoroi on Monday, Kadyrov
said he felt “an enormous bur
den of responsibility for the
republic and for the people who
trusted me.”
A pro-rebel Web site,
kavkazcenter.com, quoted Aslan
Maskhadov, the separatist
leader elected president of,
Chechnya in 1997 who is now'
denounced by Russian authori
ties as a terrorist, as calling the
election “a criminal action by
the occupation forces” that was
“doomed to failure.”
Fighting between rebels and
federal forces was lighter during
the vote, with Russian war
planes and artillery taking the
last 24 hours off, a pro-Moscow
official in the Chechen adminis
tration said Monday. One sol
dier was killed and eight
wounded in 14 attacks on army
positions, and an armored per
sonnel carrier hit a mine near
the, town of Bamut, killing one
soldier and wounding four.
Human rights advocates
questioned the fairness of a vote
held during a war and said the
election was heavily tilted in
favor of Kadyrov, whose per-,)
sonal security service is widely!
feared and accused of kidnap-'
pings and killings.
