Putin backs proposal allowing him to remain in power in Russia beyond 2024
Current term limit for Putin, who has ruled for 20 years, expires in 2024
Vladimir Putin says he supports a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow him to seek another term and remain in power in Russia.
The Russian president is required by the constitution to step down in 2024 when his second sequential presidential term ends. But earlier on Tuesday a United Russia politician proposed amending the constitution in a way that would reset Putin’s presidential term count back to zero.
