Belarusian Congressional Elections Results

Day 1,072, 02:05 Published in Belarus USA by bernard75

As expected, turnout for the first elections in this newfound country was low, although parties established shortly before the elections surely spiced up the race.
Many political analysts expected Svabodnaya Bielarus to take this one, but almost nobody dared to predict the landslide win(47.5😵 that it turned out to be.


During most of the night until 30min before day change Svabodnaya Bielarus held 22 out of the 40(55😵. seats Then the new mostly Romanian Belaruskaya Partyia Pratsy stepped up to the plate and slugged 11(27.5😵 of their candidates home, leaving hotly favored Nezalezhnaya Belarus struggling in 3rd place with only 8 congressmen.

In the capitol and the most populous region of Minskaya Belaruskaya Partyia Pratsy didn't mount a serious challenge and the seats went to Svabodnaya Bielarus taking 4(66.7😵 and Nezalezhnaya Belarus with 2(33.3😵 seats.


Unexpectedly all 4 wildcards come from Brestskaya, which had the second largest turnout after Minskaya. Svabodnaya Bielarus claimed this one for it self again with 4(40😵 out of 10 congressman. Belaruskaya Partyia Pratsy and Nezalezhnaya Belarus accomplished 3(30😵 mandates each.


The notorious PTOer Arschmann was about to change the results in Homelskaya, but Admins rightfully deducted his multi votes after the ballots closed. This leaves another 4(66.7😵 : 2(33.3😵 win for Svabodnaya Bielarus vs. Belaruskaya Partyia Pratsy


In Vitsebskaya the region with the least required votes to reach congress Svabodnaya Bielarus and Nezalezhnaya Belarus share the most votes with 2(33.3😵 each, while the only candidate from the Social Democrat Party and one from the Belaruskaya Partyia Pratsy gain one seat(16.8😵.


Hrodzienskaya saw the most interesting race of the day with 3(50😵 candidates from the Belaruskaya Partyia Pratsy storming the Top6 in the last 20min before the close of the ballots and thus denying Svabodnaya Bielarus(33.3😵 the majority in this province and overall congress. That left Nezalezhnaya Belarus with only 1(16.8😵


In the Mahilyowskaya elections Svabodnaya Bielarus took half of the congressional seats with the Top3 positions, while Belaruskaya Partyia Pratsy secured 2 (33.3😵 and the Communist Party of Belarus sends it's only representative, too.


It remains to bee seen whether Svabodnaya Bielarus(47.5😵 will form a coalition with Belaruskaya Partyia Pratsy(27.5😵 or Nezalezhnaya Belarus20%, or if they have enough independent seats to reach the necessary majority for law proposals.
