Alexander Lukashenko will not be the President of Belarus by December 31, 2029.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, a key ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, stated in August 2025 that he would not seek re-election in 2030. This announcement follows mass protests in Belarus in August 2020, which his regime suppressed. Despite his stated intention not to run in 2030, he continues to perform presidential duties, including attending the CIS Heads of State Council in October 2025.
