2025 Belarus elections

Often labeled as "Europe's last dictator" and one of Putin's closest allies, Lukashenko has held power since 1994. He has now secured another six-year term as president. Western leaders and the Belarusian opposition have condemned his victory in Sunday's election, calling it a stage-managed farce. Lukashenko reportedly won nearly 87% of the vote, defeating four challengers who participated merely to maintain the pretense of a democratic process. The previous presidential election in 2020 sparked nationwide protests, which were met with a violent crackdown by Lukashenko's security forces.
