'der Vorsitzende' and 'der Landtagspräsident' both refer to a person who chairs meetings and represents an institution externally. 'der Vorsitzende' is the more general term and fits many groups, such as an association, a party, or an assembly. 'der Landtagspräsident', by contrast, is a specific political office title. He is the chairperson of a Landtag, the parliament of a German federal state. When you are speaking generally about leadership, 'der Vorsitzende' fits. When the topic is the Landtag, 'der Landtagspräsident' is more precise and natural.
