Head of the Central Election Commission (CEC) Tetiana Slipachuk hopes that the Supreme Court, ahead of the elections to the Verkhovna Rada, will put an end to the issues of registering individual candidates for parliamentary deputies.
“We have several court cases, one of them will be heard at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow and after that the question of registration or non-registration will be resolved,” Slipachuk said at a briefing in Kyiv on Friday.
After the briefing, the head of the CEC clarified that it was about the claim of Oleksandr Onyshchenko, who was denied registration by the Central Election Commission. She noted that Onyshchenko’s surname is absent in the ballot, and depending on the court’s decision, the CEC may face the problem of putting it in the ballot.
“We are examining this issue. We are working, including, to find out all the technological and time frames for the implementation of the court decision, but now I don’t have it at my disposal,” Slipachuk told reporters.
As reported, the Sixth Administrative Appeal Court ordered the CEC to register Onyshchenko as a candidate for deputies from the Socialist Party of Ukraine in electoral district No. 93 in the early elections to the Verkhovna Rada on July 21. In response, the CEC appealed this decision.
