Belarusian President Lukashenko Expected to Extend Decades-Long Rule in Upcoming Election

ai generated text

Alexander Lukashenko, the current President of Belarus, is set to win a seventh term in the upcoming 2025 presidential election, with no genuine challengers. He has been in power since 1994 and is known for ruling the country with an iron fist. The election has been widely criticized for lacking legitimacy, with many viewing it as a sham.

  1. EU Parliament
    1. While reiterating their non-recognition of Mr Lukashenko as President and their position that the entire Belarusian regime is illegitimate, MEPs express their unwavering support for the Belarusian people in their pursuit of democracy, freedom and human rights.

    1. I am entering the race not against, but together with Lukashenko, and I am ready to serve as his vanguard.

    1. This is a military-style operation; a performance staged by the regime to hold on to power.

    1. All our opponents and enemies should understand: do not hope, we will never repeat what we had in 2020.
    2. I'm not following the election campaign. I've got no time.
    3. An opposition is a group of people who should serve the interests, at the very least, of a small number of people in the country. Where are these leaders you speak of? Wake up!

    1. If anyone dares to suggest the outcome of the election isn't known, he's a liar.
    2. It's obvious that Lukashenko will win. He has a massive rating….We're going to battle to strengthen our positions and prepare for the next election.

    1. Lukashenko has clung to power for 30 years. Tomorrow, he'll reappoint himself in yet another sham election. This is a blatant affront to democracy.
  7. US
    US State Department
    1. Repression is born of weakness, not strength. The unprecedented measures to stifle any opposition make it clear that the Lukashenko regime fears its own people.

    1. All civil society institutions have been destroyed, and there is not a single opposition party in the country; they have all been liquidated.
    2. It's a very sad context that these elections are being held in.
