According to reports from TASS, Russia Today news agency, etc., Russia's Putin said he would participate in the elections to be held in 2024.
After Putin attended the ceremony of the celebration of the Day of the Hero of the Fatherland in the Kremlin, one of the participants asked him to participate in the 2024** elections, to which Putin replied that he would participate.
Russian press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that Putin's campaign for the new election has de facto been launched, but not legally yet, because Putin has not yet registered as a candidate.
The head of the Election Commission of Russia Pamfilova announced that voting in the 2024 elections will take place for three days, from March 15 to 17.
This news means that Putin will continue to play an important role in Russia's political arena. Putin had said in September that he would postpone his decision on whether to run until the end of the year, but now he has announced that he will run in the 2024** elections.
Under the amended Russian constitution, Putin is eligible to run for a second term after the expiration of his term next year, until 2036.
Putin's decision to run for election has not yet been announced to the public, but according to opinion polls, Putin's approval rating is more than 80%. He has won landslides in the last few elections, so he is also considered the most likely candidate to win in the 2024 elections.
Putin's decision to run for election has attracted widespread attention and discussion. Some see this election as a symbol of democracy, while others believe that Putin has established a strong political position with little mainstream public dissent, so he is sure to win.
