Russian President Vladimir Putin has begun his official campaign activities for the March Russian presidential election.

According to the TASS news agency, on the 17th (local time), President Putin visited his election headquarters in Gostiny Dvor near the Moscow Kremlin for the first time as a presidential candidate. He expressed his gratitude to the joint election campaign managers and volunteers.

The joint election managers are Artur Zoga, the Sparta Battalion of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) commander, Mariyana Lysenko, head of the 52nd Moscow City Hospital, and actor and art director Vladimir Mashkov.

The headquarters, which began operations on the 21st of last month, is collecting signatures of support for President Putin, who is running as an independent candidate.

In the Russian presidential election, an independent candidate must gather more than 300,000 signatures from 40 regions or more to get on the ballot. The election headquarters announced that President Putin has already gathered over 2 million signatures nationwide.

This year’s Russian presidential election will be held over three days, from March 15 to 17th.

In this election, residents of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), the Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR), Zaporizhia, and Kherson, which Russia claims to have incorporated into its territory since the start of special military operations in Ukraine in February 2022, can also vote.

According to the Russian Central Election Commission, 11 people have put their names forward as potential candidates for this year’s election, but none pose a significant challenge. Experts predict that President Putin, with a support rate close to 80%, will easily win re-election.

If President Putin is successful in his fifth term, his term, which is due to expire on May 7, will be extended until 2030.
