Belaya Rus ( Belarusian: Белая Русь, romanized: Bělaja Ruś, lit. ' White Rus'') is a Belarusian political party which was initially founded as a public association on 17 November 2007 [8] [9] to support President Alexander Lukashenko.
Since its foundation, the organization's leaders regularly announced they were ready to become a political party. President Lukashenko neither firmly opposed the idea nor supported it. He commented, "Well, if they are ready, let them be a party; I am not against it. On the contrary, I will support it because they are patriots. But I wouldn't advise them to hurry." The party is based on the idea of the All-Russia People's Front. It has no actual ideology outside of absolute support for Lukashenko. [10] The former minister of Education of Belarus, Alexander Radkov was chairman of the association from 2007 to 2018. The NGO had a membership of over 180,000. [11] On March 18, 2023, the association was officially transformed into a political party. [12]
Gennady Davydko, the head of the Belarusian TV and Radio Company, was elected chairman of Belaya Rus unanimously by the association's council on 19 January 2018. [13]
On 18 March 2023 Belaya Rus was formally transformed into a political party and held its founding congress in Minsk; Oleg Romanov was elected as party chairman. [14] [15]
The party won 46.40% of votes in the 2024 Belarusian parliamentary election, winning 51 seats. [16]
