Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has won his re-election with 80% of the vote, according to authorities

Earlier, the central election commission said Lukashenko, in power for more than a quarter of a century, won 80% of the vote in Sunday’s election, while Svetlana Tikhanouskaya, who emerged from obscurity to become his main rival, took just 9.9%.

Tikhanouskaya told reporters she considered herself the election winner. She said the poll had been massively rigged. Lukashenko repeated allegations that shadowy forces abroad were trying to manipulate protesters he called “sheep” in order to topple him, something he said he’d never allow. “We condemn the violence and call for the immediate release of all detained during last night,” Josep Borrell and Oliver Varhelyi said in a joint statement.A spokesman for the German foreign ministry said there were numerous indications of electoral fraud and that the EU was discussing how to react. Neighbouring Poland said it wants a special EU summit on Belarus.

Congratulated by Xi Jinping and Putin immediately after the election? Probably a good alternative for the definition of a dictator.

EVERY so called whoever these are called, there is one PROOF which you all can recongnize easily, what they say, what they act, what they dress are so obviously selected as standard 'ACTRESSES and ACTORS'. Typicall NAZIS trick aka OLD USA trick!

What is it with humans that they have an unwavering need to hold onto power n be in total control.

Russia, and China see nothing odd with these statistics!

So strange to have a USA with no one of any consequence to make a statement,

Not going to happen he is a despot and a tyrant not too shy to lock up his opposition or disposing of them!

Hilarious.

LOL. I'm sure.

A precursor to what's about to happen in the US. GOP suppresses the vote. Trump wins, Dems call foul play, nothing really happens. Then in 2024, the same people that went 'fck Trump but Im not voting for Biden' wonder why it is so much tougher to remove the GOP regime...

Yolo

For liberals, an illegitimate election is one that they lose.

Vzla 2006

Poppycock, they have actually reported Mr Lukashenko receiving over 173% of the vote in some districts, truly unprecedented. What a fantastic leader he must be, so dearly loved by all his people.
