Putin signs law allowing him to run for two more terms in Kremlin

The legislation will pave the way for Putin to stay in power until 2036

MOSCOW:

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law allowing him to run for two more terms in the Kremlin once his current term ends in 2024, a document posted on a government website showed on Monday.

The legislation, which could pave the way for Putin to stay in power until 2036 should he choose to do so and win re-election, reflects sweeping changes to the constitution that were brought in last year.
