June 11, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> The 2025 presidential election should be impeccable, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka has told his top election official, Ihar Karpienka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian leader repeats that statement before almost every election but never delivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As in previous years, there is no need for pressure or the administrative resource,” \u0141uka\u0161enka said, as quoted by his press office. “We can hold the election honestly and decently.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He advised officials to organize the election “so as not to upset people.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karpienka said there was no need to change the electoral legislation because it had been tested during the February 25 parliamentary and local polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarus is to hold the next presidential election no later than July 20, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The previous presidential race in 2020 was marred by the arrests of opposition hopefuls and observers, allegations of serious irregularities and fraud and police brutality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crackdown triggered the largest protests in the country\u2019s history, followed by large-scale reprisals that continue to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The country has not held a single honest, free and fair election by standards of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe since 1996.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
