Dubai – Masaader News

Russian President Putin postponed a vote on constitutional change that would allow him to stay in power due to coronavirus, according to BBC.

He said the public vote – previously due to be held on 22 April – would be delayed until a “later date”.

The proposed changes include scrapping a ban on allowing Mr Putin to run for office again.

Mr Putin also announced that Russians would not work next week “to slow the speed” of the infection.
