Vladimir Putin does not need to participate in pre-election debates to become president again, Dmitry Peskov clarified.
Russian President Vladimir Putin will not participate in pre-election debates. Kremlin Speaker Dmitry Peskov said this at a briefing on Monday, January 29.
“The President does not participate in pre-election debates,” he said, answering reporters’ questions about Putin’s plans to take part in them.
Peskov also forwarded to the election headquarters the question of Putin’s receipt of the presidential candidate’s certificate. “There is a headquarters, there is a chief of staff,” he added.
As you know, Vladimir Putin’s current power as head of state will expire on May 7, 2024. For the first time in history, the next presidential election in Russia will last three days – March 15-17. Last December, Putin announced his decision to go to the polls.
We remind you that on October 7, Putin turned 71 years old. If re-elected, he would surpass Joseph Stalin in terms of time in power. According to the new constitution of the Russian Federation, he can lead the country until he is 83 years old.
Earlier, the media found out who will “compete” with Putin in the election. The main criterion for the selection of candidates, used by the Kremlin, is over 50 years old, so that Putin does not look like a “grandfather” compared to them.
