“The president has decided to fire the current government. A corresponding order has been signed,” reported the Belarusian state television channel 1.
Early Wednesday Lukashenko held a meeting to discuss proposals for a new government. The President has promised that there will be no revolutionary reforms in the government.
Lukashenko announced last week that he planned to form a new government ahead of the August 9 presidential elections.
He soon confirmed such plans.
“I have spoken about this (change of government) and I will,” Lukashenko said, adding that he will appoint an interim prime minister in the near future.
Previously, Lukashenko explained that “by registering the current president as a presidential candidate, we always announce a new composition of the government before the elections.” According to him, the strategy aims to increase voter confidence.
The current government has been in office since August 18, 2018; It is headed by Prime Minister Sergei Rumas.
Despite the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) to abandon the massive events, Belarus is carrying out an electoral campaign at full capacity. The presidential election is scheduled for August 9. Lukashenko plans to run for the sixth time. 1994 was chosen according to all the requirements for the counting of votes. Since then, the electoral system has been refined, and no one who has not previously held this office has become president of the country.
In 10 days, hundreds of people lined up in Minsk and other regions of Belarus to sign the “no Lukashenko” nomination as presidential candidate.
