Belarus‘s Lukashenko set to win election slammed as ‘sham’

Belarus’s autocrat Alexander Lukashenko, in power since 1994, won re-election Sunday in an election without real competition and slammed by the EU as a “sham”, a state exit poll said.

The poll said Moscow-aligned Lukashenko won a seventh consecutive term with 87.6 percent of the vote. All of the 70-year-old’s meaningful opponents are in prison or in exile.
