Belarusian parliamentary election, 2000
- Belarusian parliamentary election, 2000
On 14 July 2000, Belarusian President Lukashenko set 15 October 2000 as the date for the parliamentary elections. For the first time, the elections were held under the new Electoral Code adopted on 31 January 2000. Some 566 candidates ran for the 110 seats in the lower house of Parliament. About 50 of them were from the opposition. Most opponents to the President were barred by technicalities from standing or suffered harassment by the authorities in order to dissuade them from standing.
Parties loyal to President Lukashenko won most of the 41 seats where outright victory was achieved. Run-off votes were held on 29 October 2000 in 56 districts. In the remaining 13 districts where turnout fell short of the 50 per cent quorum, a new vote was held again.
On 21 November 2000, the Chamber of Representatives elected Agriculture Minister Mr Vadzim Papou as its Speaker
