Alyaksei Yanukevich withdraws from elections

Alyaksei Yanukevich, a deputy chairman of the Party of the Belarusian Popular Front, on Monday withdrew his candidature from the parliamentary elections. He was registered in the Avtozavod district in Minsk.

Yanukevich explained his decision by saying that the elections could not be held in an open and democratic way. He says that the situation when the new members of the parliament can be recognised by European nations is very dangerous in the lomg-term perspective.
