Putin's Reelection Bid Backed by Russia's Ruling Party; Pro-Peace Candidate Nominated

Analysts predict Putin's victory in 2024 election, potentially extending his rule until 2036.

Russia's ruling party, United Russia, has unanimously backed President Vladimir Putin's bid for reelection in the 2024 presidential election.
Putin's supporters formally nominated him to run as an independent candidate.
A little-known Russian presidential hopeful, Yekaterina Duntsova, who advocates for peace in Ukraine, has also secured a nomination from a group of over 500 supporters.
Analysts predict Putin's reelection is almost certain due to his tight control over Russia's political system.
Under constitutional reforms Putin orchestrated, he is eligible to seek two more six-year terms after his current term expires next year, potentially allowing him to remain in power until 2036.
