Ukraine's opposition intends to send to the European Court of Human Rights a lawsuit against the Central Election Commission's decision to recognize the impossibility of establishing the parliamentary election results in a number of constituencies in Ukraine, Head of the Council of the Batkivschyna United Opposition Arseniy Yatseniuk has said.
“We will send to the European Court of Human Rights lawsuits concerning all the constituencies, where the Party of Regions together with the Central Election Commission refused to establish the results of the declaration of the will of Ukrainian citizens,” Yatseniuk said at a morning plenary session of the Ukrainian parliament on Tuesday.
As reported, in the parliamentary elections on October 28, the Central Election Commission recognized the impossibility of establishing the election results in five single-seat districts – Nos. 94 (Obukhiv, Kyiv region), 132 (Pervomaisk, Mykolaiv region), 194 and 197 (Cherkasy region) and 223 (Kyiv, Shevchenkivsky district).
The Verkhovna Rada proposed that the CEC call repeat elections in these districts. However, the CEC said that this problem should be resolved legislatively, because the law does not envisage such grounds for the holding of repeat elections as the impossibility of establishing the election results.
The opposition has lodged in the Higher Administrative Court of Ukraine a challenge against the Central Election Commission’s decision to hold rerun elections in five single-seat constituencies.
