		</div><p>Russian president Vladimir Putin has presented documents to Russia’s Central Election Commission to register as a candidate in the 2024 presidential election.</p>
<p>“He submitted them,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russian state media.</p>
<p>Supporters of Mr Putin on Saturday formally nominated him to run in the 2024 presidential election as an independent candidate.</p>
<p>The nomination by a group of at least 500 supporters, under Russian election law, is mandatory for those running not on a party ticket.</p>
<p>Independent candidates also need to gather at least 300,000 signatures of support from 40 regions or more.</p>
<p>The group that nominated Mr Putin included top officials from the ruling United Russia party, prominent Russian actors and singers, athletes and other public figures.</p>
<p>Mr Putin has used different tactics over the years.</p>
<p>He ran as an independent in 2018 and his campaign gathered signatures.</p>
<p>In 2012, he ran as a nominee of the Kremlin’s United Russia party so there was no need for signatures.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, politicians in Russia set the country’s 2024 presidential election for March 17, moving Mr Putin a step closer to a fifth term in office.</p>
<p>Under constitutional reforms that he orchestrated, Mr Putin is eligible to seek two more six-year terms after his current term expires next year, potentially allowing him to remain in power until 2036.</p>
<p>The tight control over Russia’s political system that he has established during 24 years in power makes his reelection in March all but assured.</p>
<p>Prominent critics who could challenge him on the ballot are either in jail or living abroad and most independent media have been banned.</p>
