People's Deputy from the Petro Poroshenko Bloc party Vladimir Kurennoy took the oath of office in the Verkhovna Rada, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
He did this during a plenary session on Tuesday from the rostrum of parliament, the Verkhovna Rada website reports.
Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Andrei Parubiy noted that he was registered by the Central Election Commission on November 29, and was elected during the early elections of people's deputies on October 26, 2014.
