Belarus Re-Elects Lukashenko for Seventh Term
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has been re-elected for the seventh term with 87.6% of the votes, as reported by the Central Election Commission. The European Union criticized the election, stating it was not free and fair, and announced that sanctions against Belarus would continue. Lukashenko's main opponents, including Sergey Tikhanovsky and Viktor Babariko, were either jailed or forced into exile following the disputed 2020 election.
