Head of Ingushetia

On June 26, 2019, Russian President Vladimir Putin appointed Kalimatov as the acting head of the Republic of Ingushetia after the resignation of Yunus-bek Yevkurov.[1] Yevkurov's resignation came about following a long protest movement in the Republic over the 2018 Chechnya–Ingushetia border agreement. The protests began due to the nature of the agreement, with the population of Ingushetia only knowing of the agreement's existence after the deal was signed.[5]

He was awarded the "Honorary Worker of the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation." He was elected as Ingushetia's head by the People's Assembly of the Republic of Ingushetia on September 8, 2019 by receiving votes of 27 deputies of the 31 present, beating his rival candidates Magomed Zurabov and Uruskhan Evloev.[6][1]

On January 27, 2020, Kalimatov dismissed the government of Ingushetia for unclear reasons, appointing an ethnic Russian, Konstantin Surikov, as the Prime Minister of the Republic.[7]

Kamilatov was married and has two sons. Kalimatov is the brother-in-law of the former head of Ingushetia, Murat Zyazikov, who headed the republic in 2002–2008. They are married to sisters. He had two brothers Alikhan, and Magomed-Bashir. Alikhan (1969-2007), was an employee of the operational investigative department of the Service for the Protection of the Constitutional System and the Fight against Terrorism of the Federal Security Service, a Lt.
