December 11, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Alaksandar Chi\u017eniak, leader of the pro-government Republican Party of Labor and Justice, and Aleh Hajdukievi\u010d, of the Liberal Democratic Party, have applied for the registration as presidential candidates, the central election commission said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Siarhiej Syranko\u016d, chairman of the pro-government Communist Party of Belarus, submitted documents for the registration of his presidential bid yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other presidential hopefuls can do it before December 21, in person or by proxy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The required documents include a biography, income and property statements, and a financial report from the campaign fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the Belarusian Electoral Code, a candidate must submit at least 100,000 signatures in order to run for president. Earlier this month, the Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka campaign said it collected at least 1.58 million signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarus will hold its seventh presidential election from January 21 to 26, with the whole election cycle limited to just three months. The current campaign is taking place in a purged political landscape amid a new wave of crackdown on regime critics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
