You're reading: Servants of People collect signatures for recalling Razumkov from post

The Servant of the People parliamentary faction has collected 160 necessary signatures for initiating the recall of Dmytro Razumkov from the post of Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada.

The collection of signatures took place at a meeting of the faction on October 2 in Truskavets.

“Yes, this information is true,” the agency’s interlocutors reported.

As it became known, 160 signatures were collected.

MP Oleksiy Ustenko confirmed information about 160 signatures in a commentary to journalists.

“At the time of my signing, there were already 160 signatures,” the MP said.

Proposals to recall the speaker may be submitted to parliament by at least one-third of the MPs from the constitutional composition of the Rada with their signatures.

According to the law On the Rules of Procedure of the Verkhovna Rada, the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada can be recalled from office at any time at his request, and can also be recalled due to unsatisfactory work in this post, including in the event of suspension from plenary sessions three and more times during one regular session of the Verkhovna Rada, or for other reasons that make it impossible for him to fulfill his duties. The early termination of parliamentary powers by the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada results in the termination of his powers as chairman of the Verkhovna Rada.
