You're reading: Yefremov: Local elections in Ukraine could take place in 2011

The next local elections in Ukraine could be held in 2011, Regions Party First Deputy Head Oleksandr Yefremov has said.

"We’ve just passed a resolution that cancels a resolution, which was passed earlier, scheduling the elections for May 30 this year. A group of deputies was also ordered to draft a mechanism for adopting a document, including on constitutional amendments, so as to determine the date of the next elections. It seems to me that most deputies [want the elections to be held] in the spring of 2011," he told reporters on Tuesday.

As reported, MP Mykola Tomenko’s bill slating the local elections for March 21, 2011 was earlier registered in the Ukrainian parliament.
