How long does Putin have left in office?

Mr Quatro · 12-06-15, 10:13 AM

I was wondering how much longer President Putin has left in office. I thought maybe two more years than Obama, right?

Then I found this old article of three years ago before his last election. The man we have all grown to love or hate may wind up serving till 2024.

Shock, uh?

And even if voters do not endorse Putin, his victory is likely to be assured with the help of regional officials loyal to his United Russia party. Having extended the presidential term of office from four to six years,

Putin would remain in charge until 2018 – or 2024, if he won a second term.

By then, Putin would have chalked up 24 years in power out of the 33 years since the collapse of Communism thanks to his previous terms as president and prime minister.

I think Putin will be in office for life.

Most likely and I wish him long life. He may not be most desirable man for the post (from foreign neighbours' point of view), but atleast he is reasonably predictable.

The Russians need to elect Mikhail Prokhorov as president. The Russians need a President they can look up to.
