(MENAFN- AzerNews) Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko met with Chairman of
the country's Central elections Commission (CEC) Igor Karpenko in
Minsk on Monday to discuss the upcoming election campaign, saying
that the elections in Belarus will be fair, unlike elections in the
United States, Azernews reports, citing Interfax.
"Entities that invite observers are determined by law. We have
nothing to hide. When the time comes, when we deem it necessary, we
will invite observers to the elections so that they can see how the
elections go, so that we do not get reproached for holding
elections like in the United States, where people are shot after
elections, where voting take place by mail and so on. There are
lots of falsifications there. This is obvious today. We must hold
the elections honestly," the BelTA Belarusian state-run news agency
quoted Lukashenko as saying.
Belarus will hold elections to the House of Representatives, the
lower chamber of parliament, and local elections on a unified
voting day in February 2024. Members of the Council of the
Republic, the upper chamber of parliament, and deputies of the
Belarusian People's Assembly will be elected then. The Belarusian
People's Assembly should hold its meeting within 60 days after the
unified voting day.
The next presidential elections in Belarus should take place no
later than July 20, 2025.
