Former Greens leader barred from 2024 elections
December 23, Pozirk. Officials have refused to register a group that would collect signatures to nominate Dźmitryj Kučuk, former chairman of the Belarusian Greens Party, as a candidate in the 2024 elections.
The politician said on Facebook that “the formal reason for the refusal was a typo in the documents.” As before, he did not clarify whether he wanted to run for the House of Representatives or a local council.

On November 20, Kučuk announced his bid but said he had “no illusions.”
He said he wanted to be the voice of Belarusians who were ready to “support independent candidates.”
He added that his team prepared an amnesty bill to be implemented after the election campaign and a reform project.
The Supreme Court dissolved the Greens and 10 other parties in the summer and fall at the request of the justice ministry, in a major clean-up of the political system.
The Biełaja Ruś party of Łukašenka’s supporters and three other cherry-picked alliances, the Communist Party of Belarus, the Liberal Democratic Party and the Republican Party of Labor and Justice, put forward their candidates.
“We will be thinking about the next election campaign,” Kučuk said.
