Russia is about to usher in a new election, and the current polls show that support for the re-election of the incumbent Putin exceeds 70%. Despite this, Putin has yet to qualify for the next ** election. Why is that?It turned out that Putin's candidacy as an independent candidate must be supported by a group of at least 500 people and 300,000 signatures from 40 regions. At present, Putin has not yet obtained the 300,000 signatures, and has not completed the registration process.
This has caused many people to wonder why Putin has such a high approval rating at home, but it is difficult to get 300,000 signaturesPerhaps it is because Russia is facing many important issues, such as the conflict in Ukraine. Coupled with Putin's advanced age, it is difficult to say whether he will continue to run for election. However, it is still very easy for Putin to collect 300,000 signatures across the country if he wants to, and do not underestimate his influence in the hearts of the people.
If Putin really participates in next year's ***, then what kind of contenders will he face?How much of a threat does these competitors pose to him?At the moment, Putin's "contenders" can be roughly divided into two factions. On the one hand, there are some candidates with similar ideas to Putin, such as the candidates nominated by the Russian Communist Party, although they lag behind Putin in terms of approval rating, but their popularity in the country is not low. The other faction is the pro-Western "camp", which may use some means to smear and attack Putin.
In the international arena, the West is also likely to hype up Russia's "improper election process" and "fraudulent votes" in an attempt to disrupt Russia's social environment. After all, if Putin is re-elected, he will usher in 30 consecutive years in power. In addition, Putin himself has made it clear that everything in the Russian ** election campaign must be carried out in accordance with the law, and any interference from the outside must be outlawed. This also shows that even Putin himself must act in strict accordance with the rules and regulations and will not engage in special activities.
In the *** in March next year, regardless of the final outcome, it will be a high-profile election that will also test Putin's leadership charisma and political wisdom.
