After a mammoth selection process, the televoters of Belarus have decided - Piotr Elfimov will represent Belarus in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 with Eyes that Never Lie.

Eurofest, the national final of Belarus, came to a head on Monday 19th January with Piotr Elfimov winning the ticket to Moscow in style.

Five songs competed in the national final, and Elfimov secured over 41 percent of the televotes:

Eyes That Never Lie - Piotr Elfimov 11,475 votes

Fantastic Girl - Gunesh 7,949 votes

Carry On - Litesound and Dakota 4,985 votes

Wind in the Head - Shpatsyruem 2,804 votes

At a press conference after the Eurofest final, Elfimov indicated that unlike last years Belarussian entry, Eyes That Never Lie would not be changed before the Eurovision Song Contest in May.
