MOSCOW – Russia's house of parliament has overwhelmingly approved Dmitry Medvedev for a new term as prime minister.

Medvedev was nominated a day earlier by President Vladimir Putin, who was inaugurated for a fourth term as Russia's president.

Medvedev has been prime minister since 2012, after four years serving as Russia's president while Putin switched to the premiership due to term limits.
