Fifth presidential hopeful claims to have gathered more than 100,000 ballot-access signatures
Viktar Tsyareshchanka said on Friday that his nomination group had collected more than 103,000 ballot-access signatures.
The economist became the fifth presidential contender to claim to have gathered more than the required minimum of 100,000 voter signatures for registration as a candidate in December's election.
"As of the morning of October 22 my nomination group had collected 103,800 signatures," he told BelaPAN.

A total of 14 contenders have been left in the presidential race. The ballot-access signature collection stage ends on October 29.
