The chairman of the Conservative Christian party Belarusian Popular Front Zyanon Paznyak believes that only about 25-30% citizens of the country have taken part in the “parliamentary election” in Belarus. Such an opinion has been expressed by the politician in an interview to Polish Radio.

“The “election” has been rigged undoubtedly. It was obvious even in the period of the election campaign, when the early voting was held. Yesterday all over Belarus empty polling stations were recorded. 25-30% has voted at most. It is confirmed by all our observers.

The boycott of the voting has done well, and it cannot be hidden. The regime wants to conceal it, but very unsuccessfully.

And consequently, this election cannot be recognized. The West has made statements about recognition, but cannot recognize it as democratic. The West has no choice,” the leader of the CCP BPF said.

Zyanon Paznyak believes that the “election” has been carried out in a very cynical manner, with disrespect for voters and for the international community. “It is a total failure of Lukashenka’s regime,” the politician stated.
