MOSCOW: Russia’s ruling party United Russia wants the “ultimate victory” of President Vladimir Putin at the presidential election in March, party head and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said on Saturday. Putin, 65, said earlier this month he would run for re-election as a self-nominated candidate, in a contest he seems sure to win comfortably, extending his grip on power into a third decade. Speaking at an annual gathering of United Russia, Medvedev said the party was Putin’s party, and his key political resource. Medvedev promised it would support Putin in the election, which is scheduled for March 18. “We will give you, Vladimir Vladimirovich, all possible support, now and in the future,” said Medvedev, addressing Putin by his first and patronymic names. Putin thanked Medvedev for the support. — Reuters
