Belarus official: No opposition candidate elected

The head of Belarus' election commission says no opposition candidate won a seat in parliament with 99 of the 110 districts counted.

All of the prominent opposition candidates lost. Those running in the remaining 11 districts are not well known.

Central Election Commission head Lidia Yermoshina said early Monday that the full results will not be announced until later in the day.

Sunday's election was being seen as a major test of President Alexander Lukashenko's commitment to democratic reforms.
