The local agency “Route E-95” writes about this.
It is reported that election commission workers, who learned about the death of the candidate, decided to leave him on the voting list after consultations with the Central Election Commission, so that voters would not come to the conclusion that the entire party was not participating in the elections to the district council.
Rozhik’s place in the local government body will be taken by another person, the agency reports.
As PolitNavigator previously reported, a similar incident occurred in the Sarnensky district of the Rivne region. Ivan Totovitsky, who represented Batkivshchyna, died five days before the elections, was elected as a deputy of the district council. It was reported that party officials asked people to vote for him to pay their last respects to the deceased.
