The 2012 Russian presidential elections are to be held on 4 March 2012.[1][2][3]
According to a Levada opinion poll from September 2011, 41% of Russians wanted to see Putin be a candidate in the 2012 elections as opposed to 22% for Medvedev, while 10% wanted someone else and 28% were unsure.[4]
On 30 June 2011, Putin told the audience at a regional conference of the United Russia party that the 2012 election campaign would be "dirty".[5] At the United Russia Congress in Moscow on 24 September 2011, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev proposed that his former mentor stand for the Presidency in 2012; an offer which Putin accepted. The move is expected to see Medvedev stand on the United Russia ticket in the parliamentary elections in December, with a goal of becoming Prime Minister of Russia at the end of his presidential term.[6]
