Moscow, Sept 24: Russian strongman Vladimir Putin hopes to become the country’s president for the third term in a tandem arrangement with his party colleague incumbent Dmitry Medvedev who will run for premiership in forthcoming polls.
President Medvedev, who agreed to Prime Minister Putin’s proposal to lead the ruling United Russia to the December 4 Duma (lower house) polls, announced his decision to back his candidacy for the Russian presidency in March 2012.
Speaking at the party congress in the former Lenin Olympic Stadium here, Medvedev announced plans to get down to “practical work in the government, formed by the parliamentary majority.”
