January 27, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> The Central Election Commission (CEC) has declared Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka the winner in Belarus\u2019 presidential election with 86.82 percent of the vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The election has drawn severe criticism for the lack of transparency and repressive environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Siarhiej Syranko\u016d of the Communist Party of Belarus gained 3.21 percent of the vote; Aleh Hajdukievi\u010d of the Liberal Democratic Party, 2.02 percent; Hanna Kanapackaja, 1.86 percent; and Alaksandar Chi\u017eniak, 1.74 percent, the CEC said, noting that 3.6 percent voted against all candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141uka\u0161enka has been awarded less that Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was given 87.28 percent in Russia\u2019s 2024 presidential poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CEC reported voter turnout of 85.7 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exiled Belarusian opposition and a number of democratic countries have dismissed the election as a sham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, \u0141uka\u0161enka claimed victory with 80.1 percent. That announcement triggered mass protests against election fraud that were followed by a severe crackdown on dissent that continues at present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
