primaries

The Belarusian opposition’s initiative is in its pivotal point: the current conflict of participants in the unofficial primaries casts a shadow on the opposition’s ability to pit a strong rival against Alyaksandr Lukashenka in the upcoming election. Both the pandemic and the Belarusian authorities’ efforts are challenging the initiative’s credibility.

February, 16 was the closing date for submitting the documents for the participation in opposition’s primaries on nominating a single candidate for the President of the Republic of Belarus, politician and campain coordinator Ihar Barysau said on Facebook.

Hanna Kanapatskaya will take part in the primaries.
