MINSK - Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko won re-election with 80% of the vote at the country’s presidential election, the Central Election Commission cited preliminary results as saying on Monday. Svetlana Tikhanouskaya, a former English teacher who emerged as Lukashenko’s main rival at the elections on Sunday, won 9.9% of the vote, the election commission said.

The preliminary results were announced after Belarusian police fired water cannons, tear gas and stun grenades in a crackdown on protests that erupted on Sunday

Not a peep from the dictator wanna be in the oval office.

🤔

What else are they gonna say? They like breathing

CyrusToulabi In the FSU, 80% isn’t a landslide, it meant that cheating was actually work this time.

Why do all dictatorships claim to have landslide victories? Just own up to your despotism and cut the BS!

Hahahaha!!!!

And?

Shocker

He won so well that afterwards he needed to lock the whole country down with riot police... Belarus

A despot will not step down through the ballot box - he only will go after a violent revolution, history is witness.

Yeah....he got 112% of the vote....

Dictator Lukashenko..that's all

Uh huh, and Trump's the Pope.

Lukashenka won by fraud.

Fake news. Don't believe this for a minute!

Fantastic news...not the news Western media like..

Incredible how efficient the election commission is! Don't even need to count the ballots to know, now that's what I call productivity!

so interesting when you slide down and see all the comments below. If anyone who's not pro-west wins democratic election, they would say it's fake and unbelievable. Funny

God forbid that becomes us this November 2020. Please vote but let’s develop safeguards to prevent Trump from stealing the election with his newly placed cronies at the USPS or sending his national marauders to intimidate us or arrest us for exercising our right to vote!

so why ppl not happy in Belar us

Picture choice is on point.

And in a remarkable turn of events the result was actually announced before anyone had even voted.

Righhht 😉😉

Shocker. USA, here’s your future...

Now to search for survivors

Dennis Franz

Sure. All those people on the streets are just out to congratulate him. Pathetic scared dictator

time to pull out google map and find out where the heck is Belarus 😅

Of course he did the election result was decided the day before and newspapers printed that he won. Surprise!!!

he cheated...you suck at headlines

And the US sponsored color revolutionaries are going to start their 'democracy' protests, as usual. May God save the people of Belarus from the US sponsored democracy, it only brings criminals and more oppression. Iraq Ukraine ICantBreathe HongKong Libya Syria...

I don't follow their country, is he extremely unpopular? Would it be like if Trump won by a landslide?

There is no confidence in these results. This is ridiculous. Until it is proved that there were no falsifications, Lukashenko cannot be recognized as legitimate.

90% of the votes 😂😂😂

Of course he was.

Haha

If you believe that, god help you...

Riiiiight!
