In the former Soviet Belarusian presidential election on the 9th, state-run media announced the results of an exit poll saying that President Lukashenko, who is aiming for six elections, gained 80% of the support. The re-election of President Lukashenko is expected to be announced, and it is possible that the protests of the people who have repelled the powerful rule may spread.

The former Soviet Belarusian presidential election was voted on the 9th. In the election, President Lukashenko, who continues his powerful rule, ran for six elections, and was an unusual development challenged by 37-year-old housewife Chihanovskaya who had no political experience.

The state media announced the results of the exit survey, and said that Lukashenko's overwhelming support was 79.7% for President Lukashenko and 6.8% for Mr. Tikhanovskaya.

In addition, the state-owned media will announce that Lukashenko will be re-elected, saying that President Lukashenko's voting rate was 82% in some areas where the vote had ended.

Mr. Chihanovskaya was dissatisfied with the long-term administration and dissatisfied with the result of this vote because he spread his support by receiving a criticism vote such as a backlash against President Lukashenko's reluctance to disregard measures against the new coronavirus. There is also the possibility that the protest activity by the people who own it will spread.

The voting results will be officially announced on the 10th afternoon of Japan time.
