2025 Belarusian presidential election

Presidential elections are scheduled to be held in Belarus in 2025 under the terms of the constitution. The president is directly elected to serve a five-year term.

Background
Mass protests erupted following the disputed outcome of the 2020 presidential elections in which incumbent Alexander Lukashenko claimed victory. Opposition candidate Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya subsequently claimed to have received between 60 and 70% of the vote and asked the international community to recognise her as the winner of the election.

On 17 August 2020, Lukashenko stated that the next presidential election could be held earlier than 2025 if a new constitution were to be adopted. Tsikhanouskaya stated that she was ready to lead a transitional government and to hold early elections under international supervision. Lukashenko also said that he will resign if a new constitution is adopted.

Candidates
On 25 February 2024, Alexander Lukashenko announced intentions of running for his seventh term in 2025.
