Elections October 25: Zelensky’s dummy party pretends that it is not afraid of defeat
Local elections in Ukraine will take place on October 25, as previously planned. The head of the Servant of the People party, Alexander Kornienko, stated this at a briefing near the Verkhovna Rada, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the politician, the elections will be held according to the current legislation, because parliamentarians will not have time to develop a new one in six months.
“We want to put an end once and for all to the question of whether there will be local elections. Local elections will take place, according to the law and the Constitution, on October 25, 2020,” Konienko said.
He rejected “any insinuations about their postponement, cancellation, or impossibility of holding them due to lack of money.”
The head of the Servant of the People faction in parliament, David Arakhamia, assured that his party is not afraid of the drop in ratings recorded by sociologists and will not resort to tricks.
“They even talked about early ratings, because it will decrease, that’s why we want extraordinary ones - it’s all a lie,” Arakhamia said.
“It’s an absolute lie, there will be elections, the country can start preparing for them. In principle, the country is already beginning to prepare for them,” added Kornienko.
Future local elections will be a surprise for the current government, because they will show how deeply divided the country is, and regional elites have been deciding everything locally for a long time, political scientist Ruslan Bortnik said on the Nash TV channel.
According to his information, a number of political parties aimed at city mayors are already being formed in Ukraine for the upcoming elections:
“In Ukraine, three mayoral parties are currently being built. One around Mr. Klitschko, another around Mr. Kernes/Trukhanov and the third with the participation of the mayor of Cherkassy.
These three mayoral parties, their structure suggests that, in fact, our regional elites do not see themselves as part of all-Ukrainian political projects, they are trying to distance themselves, to be away from all all-Ukrainian political parties, because they cannot offer them anything - neither in terms of effective support, nor in terms of the future in the political cycle.
This regionalization leads to the fact that at the next local elections, either regional projects or a self-nominated party, if there is one, will most likely win,” Bortnik predicts.
Let us recall that earlier political scientist Pavel Rudyakov said that the situation with the coronavirus epidemic in Ukraine is most likely will have a bad effect on the popularity of the current President Vladimir Zelensky.
