Putin to run again in 2024 presidential election
According to the RIA Novosti agency, Putin spoke about his renewed candidacy to an officer deployed in Ukraine. Shortly beforehand, the Central Election Commission had announced that the election would take place from March 15 to 17 next year.
However, he has yet to officially confirm his candidacy. In view of the ongoing repression of the opposition in Russia, the incumbent is expected to win.
Multi-day elections were first introduced in Russia in 2020, officially as a measure to protect voters from the coronavirus. The innovation was adopted in the course of a five-day referendum on constitutional amendments.
The referendum at the time also extended the maximum term of office of the Russian president. Putin can therefore legally remain in power until 2036.
According to critical observers, the three-day duration of the election also contributes to making the election opaque.
Election observers and the opposition in Russia repeatedly report irregularities in elections in Russia and point to the Kremlin's exclusion of independent candidates.
