Vladimir Putin to participate in next presidential elections

Vladimir Putin to participate in next presidential elections

24 September 2011 13:28 (UTC +04:00)

Speaking at the annual congress of the ruling United Russia party on Saturday, Medvedev said he was ready to make way for Putin and do "practical work in the government." That means Putin could still be running Russia in 2024.

Earlier, Putin told the congress that Medvedev should top the party’s list of candidates in parliamentary elections on December 4. The party is led by Putin and dominates Russian politics.
Putin was constitutionally barred from standing for a third consecutive term in 2008 and anointed Medvedev as his successor.

There had been intense speculation that Putin may seek a return to the Kremlin when elections are held in March next year. Both Putin, 58, and Medvedev, 46, have said they could stand for president, but ruled out running against each other.
