Moscow : Russian President Vladimir Putin said here Monday that he will lead the government if First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev wins next March’s presidential election.
Putin made the remarks at a congress of the United Russia party, which is to nominate Medvedev as its presidential candidate.
Putin said that Medvedev was the “best choice” as candidate in the presidential elections to be held after he steps down due to the constitutional ban on serving a third consecutive term.
The pro-Putin United Russia Party, which won a majority of seats in parliament, launched its presidential election campaign at the congress, which was attended by some 2,000 delegates.
