Lukashenko: Belarus would like to study Uzbekistan's electoral practices

Belarus is interested in Uzbekistan's experience of organizing and conducting electoral campaigns, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with Chairwoman of the Senate of the Oliy Majlis of Uzbekistan Tanzila Narbayeva on 5 September, BelTA has learned.

The ongoing visit of Uzbekistan's parliamentary delegation to Minsk is taking place following important political events in this country - the constitutional referendum and the early presidential election. “A great job. Nicely done. There were some minor issues the day before, but you handled it elegantly and in time (I told Shavkat Mirziyoyev about this). It went down well with people. Our observers were there and saw that everything was done well. You have done a great job in this regard. This is important for us, because we are also improving our fundamental law, the electoral legislation,” the Belarusian leader said.

The president explained that in the near future Belarus will also hold elections, the single voting day, it will set up two chambers of parliament, and also form the highest representative body of people's power - the Belarusian People's Congress. In this context, the recent electoral events in Uzbekistan are of interest to Belarus. “We would really appreciate your advice on what to pay attention to in the current situation,” the head of state said.
