“The sub-committee rules our current committee to recommend the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine (...) to early stop the authorities by dismissal of the whole membership of CEC and dismiss the members of the commission from the posts according to the list,” MP from Servant of the People, Deputy Head of Committee Alina Zagoruiko said.
Head of the Central Election Commission Tetyana Slipachuk responded to the presidential initiative to renew the CEC membership:
“I underline that the CEC is the body, which, to some extent, legitimize the presidential and parliamentary authority,” Slipachuk said.
