JOHO AIMS FOR FIVE
If he wins the next election, John Howard is looking at 15 straight years in power:
Prime Minister John Howard will fight the next election, ending months of speculation about his future.
Mr Howard has written to senior colleagues, saying he will remain Liberal leader to contest the poll, due by early 2008.
A win would give the PM a fifth term in power, having won elections in 1996, 1998, 2001 and 2004.
If he stays through a fifth term, Howard will have been PM for nearly as long as the combined years in power of the last three Labor prime ministers.
