I will begin with a traditional appeal to the Prosecutor General\u2019s Office,\u201d<\/i> the pseudo-opposition figure wrote.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that in 2020, Kanapatskaya herself ran for the presidency of Belarus. She claimed to have collected more than 100,000 signatures in her support. According to her, she submitted 110,000 signatures to the CEC, but was unexpectedly credited with 146,588 valid ones. This raised justified doubts not only about the actions of Yarmoshina\u2019s CEC but also about Kanapatskaya\u2019s ability to organize such a collection. Ultimately, she was allowed to participate in the election, where the CEC officially gave her 1.68%, or about 98,000 votes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hanna Kanapatskaya, used by Alyaksandr Lukashenka\u2019s regime to create the appearance of opposition in Belarus, unexpectedly accused former Central Election Commission (CEC) Chair Lidziya Yarmoshyna of falsifying the 2020 presidential election.
