LOGOISK DISTRICT, 22 March (BelTA) – It is the Belarusian people, as has always been the case, who will chose the country’s leader at the next presidential election, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko told reporters, BelTA informs.

The head of state was asked about the political campaign scheduled for next year and public sentiments about it. “In February 2024 we will have the parliamentary elections, the elections to the Councils of Deputies at all levels on the single voting day. It will be followed by the elections of delegates to the Belarusian People’s Congress. After that we will proceed to the presidential election. We are responsible for public security. And the rest is on you. People will make a decision, as they always do. If you decide that you need a different life, go ahead and give it a try,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

The president is convinced that the recent developments prompted Belarusians to look at many things differently. The head of state noted that Belarus has maintained peace and tranquility and this should be appreciated. “I don’t want it to be like it is in Ukraine today. I have children, many of you have children. I would like children to have a normal life,” the president said.
