Russia election: President Vladimir Putin will run in re-election next March

Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced he will seek re-election next March, a contest opinion polls show he will win comfortably, setting the stage for him to extend his dominance of Russia's political landscape into a third decade.

Mr Putin, 65, has been in power, either as president or prime minister, since 2000. If he wins what would be a fourth presidential term in March, he would be eligible to serve another six years until 2024.
