Putin Signs Law To Make Him Remain in Office Till 2036
Category: World News
The legislation allows him to run for two more six-year terms once his current stint ends in May 2024. It follows changes to the constitution last year.
Those changes were backed in a public vote last summer.
Putin was born 7 October 1952. He is at present 68 years old.
He is currently serving his second consecutive term as president and his fourth in total.
The reform, which critics cast as a constitutional coup, was packaged with an array of other amendments that were expected to garner popular support, such as one bolstering pension protections.
The law signed by Putin limits any future president to two terms in office, but resets his term count.
It prevents anyone who has held foreign citizenship from running for the Kremlin.
The legislation was passed in the lower and upper houses of parliament last month.
I have no problem with that, and you don't accuse me of bias......If The Nigeria current president can make Nigeria as great as Russia, favoring no ethnic nationality above the others, and fulfilling all the promises the present watch touted during campaign of 2015, then majority of Nigerians will unite in handing him a life mandate.
ReplyDeleteAfter all YAR'ADU, SHEHU SHAGARI were all of the same ethnic stock as PMB, but there was never a cry of marginalization or imbalance in important appointments, federal projects. Till tomorrow nobody talks ill about those two leaders. PMB, and APC still have an ample opportunity to right the wrongs and make Nigeria great again.
