The leader of the Just Russia – For the Truth party, Sergei Mironov, said on February 22 that he would propose to party members not to nominate their candidate for the 2024 presidential election, but rather to support Vladimir Putin. RTVI learned from the representatives of the main political parties about the plans for the presidential election – 2024.
“At the congress, we will indicate in advance our position on our participation in the presidential campaign. I will suggest to my comrades not to nominate candidates from our party and to support incumbent President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin,” Mironov said.
Officially, Vladimir Putin has not announced that he will run for president in 2024.
Yaroslav Nilov, Member of the Supreme Council of the Liberal Democratic Party, Chairman of the Committee for Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs
Our plan is participation in the electoral campaign, which will end with a single day of voting on September 11, this is the main task, mobilization, study. We have not yet discussed participation in the presidential elections. The candidate is nominated only by the congress, it will determine the candidate of the party to participate in the presidential elections.
Alexey Nechaev, leader of the New People faction
Sergei Mikhailovich Mironov has participated in elections before, which is probably why he looks ahead. We now have a campaign for this fall 2023 ahead of us, I think we have to prepare for it now. We will announce our plans later.
Now there is something else to do, there is something to do: on March 1, a party congress devoted, among other things, to the autumn campaign. It is necessary, as they say, to live again, a year before the campaign. Where to hurry?
We had plenum meetings, congresses, seats for elections. We have described all the main actions concerning the preparations for the elections, the dates are known. Everywhere we nominate candidates for elections, which take place on the same voting day. A congress is scheduled for December to appoint a presidential candidate. We act on the basis of our vision and our political programme.
Nikolai Rybakov, chairman of the Yabloko party
We are preparing for both the 2023 election campaign and the 2024 presidential election. In any case, the election campaign for Yabloko will go in one direction – bring peace closer and stop people dying. The question of participation in the 2024 elections will be decided closer to the start of the campaign.
Boris Vishnevsky, deputy chairman of the Yabloko party
We have not discussed this issue yet, but I can say 100% that we do not support Vladimir Putin, this is historically excluded. If nothing happens that finally destroys the institution of elections in the country, then Yabloko will have its own candidate there, and we will discuss it, but it is too early to talk about it now. Of course, we will participate with our candidate in the presidential elections.
Only *** can think of abandoning this and supporting Putin [лояльные Кремлю] parties such as “Fair Russia” and personally Sergei Mikhailovich Mironov, who has come a long evolutionary path from a geological hammer to a sledgehammer.
The United Russia party did not respond to questions from RTVI about plans to nominate a presidential candidate in the 2024 elections.
