Lukashenko Claims the Opposition Rejected His Offer to Re-count Votes
OREANDA-NEWS. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that he had offered the oppositionists to re-count votes in the presidential election. However, according to the politician, they refused demanding to hold new election.

Maria Kolesnikova, an associate of the main opposition candidate in the presidential election in Belarus Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, said that she had not heard anything about the proposal of Lukashenko to re-count votes. “Nobody offered us anything. And we know for sure that it is already impossible to do, because a lot of ballots have been destroyed,” Kolesnikova explained.
