It's election day in Belarus, and President Alexander Lukashenko is expected to win a seventh term in office. But the vote is not without controversy – Lukashenko's opponents claim the election is rigged, and many Belarusians have fled the country since the last vote in 2020. The opposition is either in prison, in exile, or in hiding, leaving Lukashenko with little opposition. For many Belarusians, Lukashenko is the only leader they have ever known. But despite his reputation as a strongman, Lukashenko's rule has been marked by repression, censorship, and economic struggles. So what does the future hold for Belarus? Only time will tell."
