Mikhail Mishustin, the chief of Russia's tax service, met with lawmakers from various factions in the Duma ahead of the confirmation vote in the Kremlin-controlled lower house.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev resigns, with a little-known bureaucrat tapped to replace him, as President Vladimir Putin calls for sweeping constitutional changes.
A constitutional reform that Putin announced in a state of the nation address indicated he was working to carve out a new governing position for himself after his six-year term ends in 2024, although it remains unclear what specific path he will take to stay in charge. At the same time, Putin argued that Russia would not remain stable if it were governed under a parliamentary system. The president should retain the right to dismiss the prime minister and Cabinet ministers, to name top defense and security officials, and to be in charge of the Russian military and law enforcement agencies, he said.
