Alexander Lukashenko has been re-elected as the President of Belarus for a seventh term, securing nearly 87% of the vote in an election widely condemned as fraudulent. Opposition candidate Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya received only about 3%, and many opposition figures were either exiled or imprisoned. Western nations, including the European Union and the United States, rejected the election results, citing human rights violations and suppression of political dissent. Meanwhile, Russia and China extended their support to Lukashenko, reinforcing his long-standing authoritarian rule in Belarus.
