Most importantly, we have heard today’s request of our society to consolidate around our president. We understand perfectly well that no one but our President Aleksandr Lukashenko will be able to ensure our security, the security of our country in the first place and, of course, the progressive development of our state. We are the team of our president. We have always been and remain to be this team. The most important thing is that we are a reliable rear. In this regard, I have made the decision to suspend by participation in the 2025 election campaign,” Olga Chemodanova said.
