Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday he would run for president again in the 2024 presidential election.
After awarding soldiers who had fought in Ukraine with Russia’s highest military honour, the hero of Russia gold star, Putin was asked by a lieutenant colonel if he would run again, Russian news agencies said. The Kremlin chief said that he would.
The move is expected to keep him in power until at least 2030.
Putin, who was handed the presidency by Boris Yeltsin on the last day of 1999, has already served as president for longer than any other ruler of Russia since Josef Stalin, beating even Leonid Brezhnev’s 18-year tenure.
With opposition politician Alexei Navalny in a prison colony and other critics abroad following a sustained crackdown on them, Putin faces no serious political competition at home.
