Andrei Sannikov, who in 2010 was the most popular of many opposition candidates in the presidential elections in Belarus, and after them was imprisoned for a year and almost four months, wrote an article for the Hong Kong democracy resource Freedom HK. However, the main attention is drawn not to the article itself, but to how Sannikov signed it.
Andrei Sannikov
According to the author of the article, he is none other than the former president-elect of Belarus.
Journalist Viktar Malisheuski drew attention to Andrei Sannikov's unexpected title on Facebook.
According to official data from the Central Election Commission led by Lidziya Yarmoshyna, Andrei Sannikov received 156,419 (2.43%) votes in those elections and took second place after Lukashenka. Naturally, these figures are not to be believed.
At the same time, unlike the situation in 2020, there is no evidence that Sannikov then received a predominant majority of votes and that his victory was stolen. Especially since in those elections, it was not possible to agree on a single candidate, and therefore opposition votes were dispersed among various politicians.
