The Belarusian Patriotic Party (Belarusian: Беларуская патрыятычная партыя, romanized: Biełaruskaja patryjatyčnaja partyja, BPP) is a political party in Belarus loyal to President Alexander Lukashenko.[2] is party chairman.[3]
History[]
The party was established in 1994,[2] and was initially named the Belarusian Patriotic Movement. The party was originally formed under presidential candidate Alexander Lukashenko.[4] Major General, Honored Pilot of the USSR, Deputy Chairman of the Union of Officers of Belarus Anatoly Barankevich became the leader of the party.
BPM won one seat in the second round of voting in the 1995 parliamentary elections.[5][6] It changed its name to the Belarusian Patriotic Party in 1996.[7]
On August 19, 2000, at a congress, the BPP nominated 16 candidates for the parliamentary elections[8]
When checking the Telegraph correspondent of the offices of parties registered in Belarus, it turned out that the BPP has not been at its address since at least 2009, which does not correspond to the information posted on the official website of the Ministry of Justice of Belarus.[9]
The party nominated Nikolai Ulakhovich as its candidate for the 2015 presidential elections. Ulakhovich finished fourth in a field of four candidates with 1.7% of the vote.
On February 18, 2018, following the results of the elections to the Minsk City Council of Deputies, one of the candidates from the Belarusian Patriotic Party was able to be elected to the local Council of Deputies.[10]
In the summer of 2020, the BPP called on voters to support the candidacy of Alexander Lukashenko in the upcoming presidential elections.
The Belarusian Patriotic Party is allied with the Communist Party of Belarus.[11], cooperates with the Belarusian Exarchate of the ROC and former military organizations.
