Large number of decent candidates in municipal elections campaign in Belarus noted

MINSK, 18 February (BelTA) – The strong interest of voters during the current election campaign means that voters and candidates are not indifferent and are willing to make a contribution to the country's life. Chairman of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly of Belarus Mikhail Myasnikovich made the relevant statement as he cast his vote as part of the municipal elections campaign on 18 February, BelTA has learned.

“Voters are strongly interested in the current elections. It means that they are not indifferent,” noted Mikhail Myasnikovich. He praised election commissions for solid preparatory work. “When people enthusiastically talk about elections and come to cast their votes, it means a lot. There are many decent candidates, too. There are people to choose from. The candidates include people with a mature life stance. They recognize their responsibility and stand in the elections not only to realize their ambitions, but also their potential.”

Mikhail Myasnikovich said he had paid attention to indifference and a responsible attitude of the candidate as he cast his vote. “These people should aspire to work for the benefit of the population in their electoral district, their city. I saw such candidates. I saw people, who are willing to build their country with their own hands. Such attitudes should be supported and encouraged,” stressed the head of the upper chamber of the Belarusian parliament.

Mikhail Myasnikovich talked to members of the local election commission, to the domestic observers, many of whom are members of the Belarusian Union of Women, the public association Belaya Rus, and the Belarusian national youth union BRSM. They told Mikhail Myasnikovich that the number of voters was low in the morning but the voter turnout was high during the early voting.
