According to the Belarusian President's website on the 10th, Belarusian President Lukashenko appointed Alexander Turchin as the new Prime Minister on the same day. The White President's website states that according to Belarusian law, the Prime Minister is appointed by the President, but must obtain the consent of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly (the lower house of parliament), and this process has been completed. Turchin previously served as the Chairman of the Minsk State Executive Committee. Golovchenko, who previously held the position of Prime Minister, has been appointed as the President of the National Bank. Belarus held presidential elections on January 26th, and Lukashenko was elected as the new president. After the presidential election, the white government resigned in accordance with the constitution, but continued to serve according to the presidential decree signed by Lukashenko until a new government was formed.
