Tatu are running against Vladimir Putin in a bid to become joint presidents of Russia.

Yulia Volkova, 18, and Lena Katina, 19, have vowed to win the election battle in March.

The girls believe they can do a better job than current head of state Putin.

Tatu’s spokeswoman told the Sun: “Tatu are running together. We cannot separate the girls.

“We are going to collect signatures in support of proposing them as a candidate in the presidential elections.”

Yulia and Lena will have to convince officials they are eligible to run as rules state candidates must be at least 35 years old.

But the pair insist they are old enough because their combined age is 37.

Despite the singers’ political ambitions, President Putin is expected to win the March 14 vote and clinch his second term in office.
