Belarusian Review

One could expected that the Fall 2015 in Belarus would be politically intensive and dynamic. However, it passed quite peacefully and without significant upheavals. The fifths presidential election was held on October 11, 2015. It ended up with another re-election of Lukashenka. According to the official results announced by the Central Electoral Commission, Aliaksandr Lukashenka won the election with 83.47% of the vote, which is the highest percentage he ever acquired. The election itself is regarded as mockery as there were no real opponents to the current political regime.
