The opposition has submitted to the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament, a draft instruction on an investigation into the falsification of the 2012 parliamentary elections, Head of the Batkivschyna United Opposition Arseniy Yatseniuk has said.
The press service of the Front for Change Party, which is a part of the
united opposition, said on Friday that Yatseniuk had demanded that the draft
instruction be registered as soon as possible.
“The instruction clearly stipulates not only the polling stations, but also
the surnames, I am stressing – the surnames, of the members of the district
elections commissions, the surnames of the heads of regional state
administrations, the police officers, and the surnames of the judges that
illegally approved a number of decisions that contradict laws and the
constitution,” he said.
The opposition demanded the prosecution agencies, the Security Service of
Ukraine (SBU), the Interior Ministry of Ukraine, and all state agencies to
investigate into cases of bribe giving, oppression, falsification of the
elections, and the destruction of election documents at some polling
stations.
He noted that the last plenary week of the incumbent parliament would be held
on November 6-9. According to the Constitution of Ukraine, the incumbent
parliament still has power, and parliamentarians have relevant authority until
the new parliament takes its oath.
“We have no right to postpone the issue until December 17, when the Verkhovna
Rada of new convocation has its first sitting. They will change the election
results ten times by December 17,” he said.
