Belaya Rus
Belaya Rus is a Belarusian political party which was initially founded as a public association on 17 November 2007 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. 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. On March 18, 2023, the association was officially transformed into a political party. 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. On 18 March 2023 in Minsk Belaya Rus held a founding conference to create a new political party; Oleg Romanov was elected as party chairman. The party won 46.40% of votes in the 2024 Belarusian parliamentary election, winning 51 seats.
