Why Putin might lose the 2024 Presidential Election of Russia

Russia is preparing for the next presidential election scheduled for March 17, 2024, speculations about President Vladimir Putin's potential bid for re-election have become a focal point of discussions. Despite his longstanding political dominance, several factors could pose challenges to Putin's electoral success in the upcoming race. While Putin himself has not officially declared his intention to run, the prevailing sentiment suggests that his return to the presidency is highly probable.

Putin's enduring political influence, built over decades of leadership, is poised to play a pivotal role in the upcoming election. Why is every assuming that Vladimir Putin could only survive the elections of Russia? well, here are some major factors why this is so,

1. Experience 

Vladimir Putin's political journey dates back to the turn of the millennium, with his initial presidency commencing in 2000. His leadership has been marked by a combination of strategic decision-making, economic stability, and a commitment to restoring Russia's global standing. The extensive experience he brings to the table is likely to resonate with voters seeking stability in uncertain times.

2.  Holding tight with the nation and its pride

Putin's presidency has been closely tied to a resurgence of Russian nationalism. In the aftermath of the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the recent events in Ukraine, a significant portion of the Russian population views Putin as a steadfast defender of national interests. This nationalist sentiment is expected to contribute to his broad base of support.

3. Consolidated power 

Over the years, Putin has successfully consolidated power through strategic political maneuvers, including constitutional changes. The centralized authority he has established has led to a perception of strength and stability, qualities that resonate with a considerable segment of the electorate.

 

 In conclusion, while Putin's political legacy and experience are formidable, the 2024 presidential election in Russia is not without challenges. Economic uncertainties, international tensions, discontent among the youth, media scrutiny, and a potential resurgence of political opposition collectively contribute to an electoral landscape that is more nuanced than a straightforward victory for the incumbent. As Russia enters this pivotal political moment, the dynamics of the election present a complex interplay of factors that could influence the outcome and defy assumptions of a guaranteed win for Vladimir Putin.

Meanwhile as our latest reports, it is not even confirmed that such an election would ever happen at Russia. Also, there's some very recent confirmations that kind of says that Putin will last as the president until his death.  And also there's pretty conflicting reports that says he would lose.

Nothing is clear here, until it all becomes bright and sunny, when all the fog starts to move aside, we can expect to get a more clearer view on Russian politics. And until then, let's wait, prepare for what is coming... And I would say it might blow our minds whether you are from Russia or anywhere else on the world.
