Nyaklyaeu promises not to persecute Lukashenka if the latter leaves his post voluntary

Presidential candidate Uladzimir Nyaklyaeu deliberately spoiled his ballot.

He did it on December 19 at polling station #59 locating in secondary school #54 in Minsk. Nyaklyaeu took a black marker and stroke off a name of Alyaksandr Lukashenka from the ballot paper in front of journalists’ eyes. The candidate noted that any elections are non-free, unfair and invalid if Lukashenka run in them. He wrote “For new election” in his ballot and said nobody would persecute Alyaksandr Lukashenka if he voluntary resigned from his post.
