Belarus' main opposition candidate, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, has rejected preliminary election results giving the country's longtime President, Alexander Lukashenko, a landslide election victory with 80% of the vote

"I believe my own eyes, the majority was for us," Tikhanovskaya said in a news conference on Monday, according to multiple local media reports."We do not recognize the election results. We have seen real protocols. We urge those who believe that their voice was stolen not to remain silent."

"Internet shutdowns are hugely harmful. They fundamentally violate basic human rights and the principles of the Open Internet," Twitter Public Policy said in a tweet. Tikhanovskaya, 37, added that she was ready to meet Lukashenko to discuss bringing"peaceful change of power."Monitoring organization Golos said it counted more than a million ballots and, according to its calculations, Tikhanovskaya won 80% of the vote.

"So Lukashenko -- who is at the top of the vertical of power, the head of the state, voluntarily, with 80% of the votes -- must transfer power to them? This is all coming from abroad," Lukashenko said. Duddridge added it was"unacceptable" that British Embassy staff and other members of the diplomatic community were obstructed from carrying out their duties as independent election observers.

Her campaign rallies saw significant turnouts even in small Belarusian towns not known for their protest activity. About 63,000 people attended the largest event in Minsk in July -- making it the biggest demonstration in the past decade. Tikhanovskaya first disputed the results at a news conference late Sunday, with her campaign maintaining that she had won in dozens of polling stations in Minsk at that stage.
