You doing a Dragan on me? If you say "in 8 years", by that token, it could be taken for "in 8 years' time" , ie, he won't be elected until another 8 years have elapsed.

It's always seemed daft to me, this 8 year limit on power, and, indeed, the automatic 4 years of staying in power. Here a PM can be elected as many times as she can win, but equally can be ousted mid-5-year-term.
