Alexander Lukashenko has won a seventh term as president of Belarus. According to exit polls, he has received 87.6% of the vote, according to polls conducted by a Belarusian state television station.
The Election Commission said turnout was 81.5% in the election, in which 6.9 million people were eligible to vote.
International media reported that the process was characterized by a lack of enthusiasm.
Lukashenko himself was not present in the electoral campaign against 4 almost unknown rivals, justifying himself by saying that he was too busy with the affairs of governing the country.
