Uładzimir Ivanavič Hančaryk or Vladimir Ivanovich Goncharik (be|Уладзімір Іванавіч Ганчарык, ru|Владимир Иванович Гончарик; born 29 April 1940) is a Belarusian politician.
Hančaryk was born in Lahojsk, a town outside of Minsk, in the Byelorussian SSR.
Beginning in 1986, Hančaryk was a chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions of Belarus.
Hančaryk was the only opposition candidate who stood against incumbent President Alexander Lukashenko in the 2001 Belarusian presidential election.[1] His campaign was supported by fellow opposition candidate Siamion Domash, who withdrew his candidacy and urged his supporters to vote for Hančaryk.[2] Many considered Hančaryk to be the best candidate for the opposition because of his previous government experience and his centrist stances.[3] Hančaryk ultimately lost the election by Lukashenko by a sixty percent margin, according to official results from the Central Election Commission. However, the elections were considered fraudulent by independent observers.[4]
