The Belarusian Patriotic Party (Belarusian: Беларуская патрыятычная партыя, romanized: Bielaruskaja patryjatyčnaja partyja, BPP) was a political party in Belarus loyal to President Alexander Lukashenko.[5] Nikolai Ulakhovich was the party's chairman.[6]
The first group includes left-wing parties, which promote socialist values – social justice, welfare and decent labor conditions for the citizens, as well as free education and health care. These include: Agrarian Party, Communist Party of Belarus, Republican Party of Labor and Justice, Belarusian Patriotic Party, Belarusian United Left Party "A Just World" (former Belarusian Communist Party).
The Republican Party of Labor and Justice (RPLJ) and the Belarusian Patriotic Party (BPP) got three mandates each. If to consider the increase in the representation of the parties as formation of political pluralism, the dominant position is given to the left wing (CPB, RPLJ, BPP), while BPP simultaneously acts as a formally pro-Russian political structure.
