MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Other presidential candidates recieved under 6 percent of votes each, the polls said.
Belarusians went to polls Sunday to elect the president for the next five years.
There are four candidates for the presidential race, including incumbent President Alexander Lukashenko, Belarusian Patriotic Party Chairman and head of the Belarusian Cossacks organization Nikolai Ulakhovich, Chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party Sergei Gaidukevich and activist of the 'Say the Truth!' campaign Tatyana Korotkevich.
