Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov may change the name of his official title in September in case the Chechen parliament approves this initiative, the speaker of the Chechen parliament said on Saturday.
"After the discussion we have come to conclusion that the appropriate name will be the shirt one - 'regional head'," Dukuvaha Abdurakhmanov said.
Earlier Kadyrov sent a letter to the Chechen republic's parliament with a proposal to change his official title and called on to "end the parade of regional presidents".
Kadyrov said there should only be one president in Russia and regional heads should have different titles. The vast majority of regional leaders are known as governors, but most of Russia's 21 republics have presidents.
