Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko met with Belarus’ CEC Chairman Igor Karpenko to discuss the preparations for the 2024 election campaign, BelTA has learned.

"The elections are round the corner. There are a lot of novelties, especially in terms of the Belarusian People's Congress. The matter is about the parliamentary elections and the corresponding presidential decree. I have read the materials that you have submitted. There are no remarks on any of the issues. Especially about the need to issue a decree. Today, I will instruct the President Administration to take a sit down with you and work out (together with the government) the best the time frame for adopting this decree. I think your proposal in this regard is reasonable. A lot of people were involved in working it out. You thought it through before submitting. Therefore, the issue of the decree on elections is not a problem. Consider it resolved," the head of state said.
