According to exit polls, the current self-proclaimed president, Alexander Lukashenko, is leading the presidential “elections” in Belarus.

According to the Belta news agency, Lukashenko allegedly received the support of 87.6% of voters. 

Other candidates distributed their votes as follows:

  • Oleg Gaidukevich – 1.8%;
  • Anna Kanopatskaya – 1.6%;
  • Sergei Sirankov – 2.7%;
  • Oleksandr Khyzhnyak – 1.2%.
  • In addition, 5.1% of voters voted against all candidates.

In total, Lukashenko has run for president six times – in 1994, 2001, 2006, 2010, 2015, and 2020 – and almost every time, according to the CEC, he has won more than 80% of the vote.

Ukraine and the EU called the presidential election in Belarus sham and illegitimate.
