- Stated grounds
- In his former position as a member of the CEC college, he was responsible for its misconduct in the 2020 presidential electoral process, its non-compliance with basic international standards of fairness and transparency and its falsification of election results. The CEC and its college have, in particular, organised the dismissal of certain opposition candidates on spurious grounds and placed disproportionate restrictions on observers in polling stations. The CEC has also ensured that the election commissions under its supervision are composed in a biased manner. He remains active in the Lukashenka regime as the Managing Director of OOO Bergia Group. He served on the Central Election Commission in an advisory capacity during the 2025 presidential campaign. The 2025 presidential election in Belarus was neither free nor fair, according to multiple reports from international observers and international organisations. Igar Plysheuski is therefore supporting the Lukashenka regime and is responsible for the repression of democratic opposition in Belarus.
