ESTJ Politicians

Ideals of order, stability, and security take center-stage in both the world of politics and the lives of ESTJs. It comes as no surprise that some of the most notable politicians of the past couple of centuries have been ESTJs.

Alexander Lukashenko

President of Belarus since 1994 ruling over the country infamously dubbed as 'Europe's last dictatorship.' Lukashenko began a military career as a border guard in 1975 and began involvement with the Young Communist League when in Mogilev. His military career spanned only seven years before he held a position running a collective farm, eventually accusing in 1994, Stanislav Shuskevich, the then president of Belarus of corruption, after which Shuskevich resigned and a new election took place. Lukashenko secured the largest share of the votes by a large margin in the first round and received a substantial majority in the second round. He has been the president od Belarus ever since.
