Now the first and still the only president is campaigning for “the future of an independent Belarus”. What did he promise us in the previous elections?

In 1994, his election posters featured the ruddy face of the chairman of kolkhoz ‘Garadzets’. Lukashenka’s slogan was simple: “Being wih the people!”. But the program was called differently: “Taking the people away from the edge”.[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4839″ add_caption=”yes” onclick=”link_image”][/vc_column][/vc_row]In the 2001 elections, Lukashenka opted for the slogan “Together for a strong and prosperous Belarus”. This was also the title of his electoral program.

The slogan slipped into the 2010 election: then Lukashenka’s program was untitled, but at the beginning the candidate explained to the nation: “‘The state for the people’ is not a thought-up slogan, but a fundamental principle from which we will never depart!”
