Unless Putin gets weary of the job he is in office for life.
"Russian politics are now dominated by President Vladimir Putin, his United Russia party, and Prime minister Dmitry Medvedev. At the 2003 legislative elections, United Russia reduced all other parties to minority status. Other parties retaining seats in the State Duma, the lower house of the legislature, are the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia and A Just Russia.
At the last elections on 14 March 2004, Putin gathered 71.31% of the votes.[2] Putin has had one of the highest approval ratings of all world leaders in recent history, often over 80%. His support remains high to this day.[3] This is largely due to Russia's strong economical growth and relative stability during his presidency.
