On 28 February 1993, presidential elections were held in Ingushetia. Major General Ruslan Aushev, formerly head of provisional administration of Ingushetia, ran unopposed with the support of several Ingush nationalist organisations. He was sworn in as president on 7 March 1993.[8] A snap election was held a year after, along with the constitutional referendum and election of the People's Assembly.
The primary political issue of the election was the 1992 East Prigorodny conflict and the subsequent ethnic cleansing of Ingush in Prigorodny District. All of the groups supporting Aushev urged for further attention towards Ingush refugees, but disagreed on the republic's future relationship towards Russia; the National Front of Ingushetia, a party comprising supporters of Aushev's campaign, supported a takeover of Prigorodny District by the Russian federal government,[6] while Nijsxo and the Congress of the Ingush People urged for a reassessment of the relationship. The Congress of the Ingush People called for the withdrawal of all Russian troops from Ingushetia,[9] and Nijsxo would go on to oppose the signing of the Treaty of Federation after Aushev took office.[6]
Following the election, Aushev signed a decree on 7 March 1993 banning all political organisations in Ingushetia.[9]

People's deputy of Russia Kirsan Ilyumzhinov won the presidency, defeating General Valery Ochirov (29.22%) and president of the Farmers Association of Kalmykia Vladimir Bambayev (1.55%). Aged 31, Ilyumzhinov became the youngest holder of governor-level office in Russia.[13]
