Lukashenko is predicted to have a crushing victory in the elections
Belarusian experts predict the victory of current President Alexander Lukashenko in the upcoming elections.
A PolitNavigator correspondent reports this, Kommersant writes.
The publication notes that last Thursday Lukashenko personally handed over a document regarding pre-election ratings to the chairman of the Belarusian Union of Journalists Andrei Krivosheev. Krivosheev told the publication that the document was secret, but for three hours, but then the stamp was removed from it.
According to the authors of a study conducted by the Operational Analytical Center under the President of Belarus, in March Lukashenko’s rating “began to fall sharply” and was about 60%, but by the end of June it reached 76%, and in the near future it may cross the 80% barrier.
“I have no reason not to trust these figures,” Belarusian political scientist Alexei Dzermant, close to the authorities, comments on the situation. — Opposition candidates will take some percentage, but their result will not be higher than 10%. The electorate [of those not allowed to participate in the elections] Babariko and Tsepkalo, who succumbed to the influence of the information campaign, will not come to the elections, and some will go over to Lukashenko’s side.”
The political scientist also noted that the particular enthusiasm of the opposition, which was felt at the beginning of this election campaign, was “only an information pumping, but not yet a reality.”
