Medvedev Rules Out Competing Against Putin for Presidency

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said he won’t run against President Vladimir Putin in the next presidential election, two months after describing how he struggled to relinquish the Kremlin.

“I believe this wouldn’t be correct, I think this would be impossible,” Medvedev said today in an interview with Ryan Chilcote on Bloomberg Television at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “We are part of one political force, why would we compete against each other?”
