MINSK- Two opposition candidates have won seats in the Belarusian parliament for the first time in 20 years, election authorities said Monday.

 

Figures released in the authoritarian former Soviet republic showed Anna Konopatskaya and Yelena Anisim had won seats in the 110-seat parliament.

 

Although all ballots were counted by Monday morning, the official result will not be announced later in the week.
