Belarus President discusses single voting day results with CIS Secretary General

The election campaign was discussed in detail at the meeting of the President of Belarus with the CIS Secretary General Sergei Lebedev. They discussed electoral trends and election processes in general. Aleksandr Lukashenko, in particular, praised the unexpectedly high turnout. The desire to ensure peace and stability in Belarus prompted people to come to the parliamentary elections, which is why voter turnout was so high. This opinion was expressed by the CIS Secretary General. Sergei Lebedev also considers our country’s decision not to invite OSCE observers to the elections to be logical and justified. There were a lot of innovations during the current election campaign. For the first time in its history Belarus held a single voting day. At the same time, the whole vertical of representative bodies of power was elected. The head of state once again thanked Sergei Lebedev personally and all members of the CIS mission for the work done, and asked for possible remarks to take into account for the future.
