Member of Parliament Mustafa Nayyem has submitted an application to withdraw from the Bloc of Petro Poroshenko (BPP) parliamentary faction.
“I’ve applied for withdrawal from the BPP faction. This is a formality. We have long been on different sides of the barricades of the values,” he wrote on Telegram and posted a photocopy of the corresponding application addressing the BPP faction’s chief Artur Herasymov.
Nayyem recalled he had become a politician after the Revolution of Dignity and “not even formally” wants to be associated with those who “openly head the counter-revolution.”
“For four and a half years, I heard fifteen thousand times the question ‘Why are you with the BPP?’ I had answers to this question, which, however, didn’t seem convincing to anyone. Now I don’t have to convince anyone of anything. This page has been turned over,” he said.
Nayyem was elected a MP in the multi-member district in the parliamentary elections in 2014.
