Vladimir Putin to run for Russian president again in March 2024
theguardian.com
Vladimir Putin has said he will run for president in the March 2024 election, moving the longtime Russian leader a step closer to a fifth term in office.
The announcement on Friday was widely expected and there is little question about the outcome.
Putin has dominated Russia’s political system and the media for the past two decades, jailing prominent opposition politicians, such as Alexei Navalny and Ilya Yashin, who could challenge him on the ballot. Putin has won previous elections by a landslide, but independent election watchdogs say they were marred by widespread fraud.
Putin’s long-term spokesperson in a previous interview said: “Putin will be re-elected next year with more than 90% of the vote”.

Imagine if this is his way out of the war, he just loses the election (to a puppet prob) and then it's their problem. They pull out of the war and then putin says "I would never have pulled out of the war, shameful display!"
That'd be amazing
Sad it's not gonna happen
This war is Putin's entire life goal. Gone bad. He's not pulling out before he's dead. Let's hope he chokes on his food.
