Ramanchuk does not run for UCP leader

The 13th Congress of the United Civil Party is taking place in Minsk. One of its participants’ tasks is choosing the new party leader and his or her deputies. Let us remind you that 48-year-old Anatol Lyabedzka has been the head of the UCP for almost 10 years. A 44-year-old political scientist and economist Yaraslau Ramanchuk, current deputy head of the party, was mentioned as a person who could replace him.

However, Ramanchuk has clearly explained to ERB that he is not going to run for the position of the UCP leader. According to him, all members of the UCP administration have their responsibilities. Furthermore, the local and presidential elections are approaching so “changes before the elections make no sense”.
