Most Belarusians saw the solution to the political crisis in new presidential elections, according to a survey conducted in December 2020. It was the first choice of nearly 45 percent of respondents and the second choice of almost 41 percent. For over eight percent, the first choice was to transfer powers to the opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya. Citizen protests across the country started in August 2020 due to disagreement with results of the presidential election results, whose official winner was Aleksander Lukashenko.
