Presidential elections were held in Belarus on 19 March 2006. The result was a victory for incumbent, President Alexander Lukashenko, who received 84.4% of the vote.^[1] However, Western observers deemed the elections rigged. The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) declared that the election "failed to meet OSCE commitments for democratic elections".^[2] In contrast, election observers from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) described the vote as open and transparent. ^{[citation needed]}
