The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine did not support the resolution on the holding of the early elections of Kyiv mayor and Kyiv City Council in two months' time.
Only 200 MPs voted for this resolution at a meeting on Tuesday, including 93 members of the Batkivschyna Faction, 39 of the UDAR faction, 34 of the Svoboda faction, twenty of the Communist Party faction and fourteen independent MPs. None of the members of the Party of Regions supported the resolution.
The author of the document, MP Volodymyr Yavorivsky of the Batkivschyna faction, offered to schedule the early election of Kyiv mayor and of Kyiv City Council in 60 days from the adoption of this resolution.
The Verkhovna Rada’s Committee on State Building and Local Government recommended that parliament reject the document.
