“Voice of Russia”: It is clear that leader with common-sense platform and competent team is Andrei Sannikov

The collection of signatures has been finished in Belarus. 11 candidates for the presidential position have announced that they had collected 100,000 signatures necessary for registration.
As informed by “Voice of Russia”, it is an unprecedented thing in the country, except for the first presidential election, when 6 candidates were taken part in the election, and there was a run-off. The next re-elections of Alyaksandr Lukashenka were just a matter of technique, or to be more exact, a matter of technologies, designed for “elegant victories”. The main thing is early voting there, when final figures are formed. It had been told by the former police lieutenant colonel, who observes the whole procedure of the ballot count by the chairman of the precinct election commission of one of the districts of Minsk during the previous presidential campaign.
Though the incumbent president had himself indirectly confirmed the election fraud, saying that in reality he had won more than 90% of votes, and not 83%, but he asked to reduce the results not to cause additional criticism from European observers and Belarusian opposition. Considering the fact that ballots in the Belarusian election are simple papers with a seal, without and protection from forgery, the mechanism of Lukashenka’s “victories” is clear.
Besides, oppositional leaders cannot counter the Belarusian dictator a united team.
However, even now it is clear that the informal leader with a common-sense platform and a competent team is Andrei Sannikov. Previously he was a deputy Foreign Affairs Minister, and now an established political leader and the presidential candidate who is most prepared for the work of the president.
It is clear that the registered candidates won’t miss the chance to address the nation from the national TV channel, radio and state-run newspapers. And in this case coordination and distribution of roles is needed, first of all to inform about the realities of the situation in the country, about the person ruling the country for 16 years, who he is and in which way he rules. And only then their own programme of changes should be presented.
That is, Lukashenka should be beaten by his own weapons of 1994, when the nation voted primarily against the nauseating Communist regime, and only then for some candidate for presidency. Will the opposition be able to argue the nation out of the 4th reelection of Lukashenka? If yes, will international observers “notice” how “the mechanism of elegant victories” of the first and so far the last president of Belarus works?
