“Mayoral elections won’t give us anything because the authorities stole and will steal anyway. It looks like we choose, but in fact they just rule us.”
Liudmyla Korbut,
pensioner
“Of course we need mayoral elections as we don’t have a mayor now. It should have been held earlier and not postponed until summer. I would like to see Petro Poroshenko in this position. He is a business person, honest, thoughtful.”
Taras Sichkar,
university teacher
“We need mayoral elections, the sooner the better. Let it be even tomorrow. I would like to see Mykola Tomenko as a mayor or Petro Poroshenko if he becomes close to the opposition.”
Kateryna Viktorenko,
homemaker
“Mayoral elections cannot be postponed. It is visible to the naked eye that no work on improving the life in the city is being done. (Kyiv City Administrator) Oleksandr Popov is not a good manager, neither is Vitali Klitschko. Given his flourishing business, Petro Poroshenko is a manager. Does he need to be a mayor? I don’t know.”
Ivan Kalinichenko,
engineer
We need elections as soon as possible. On the outskirts where I live, water pipes break almost every few months. There are also problems with electricity. Something should be done with that… I don’t know who I will vote for.”
