Local elections should be held after the completion of the decentralisation reform. This was stated by Andriy Bohdan, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, during a briefing on 30 July.
"We have a problem of the unfinished local government reform. Some of the elections in the amalgamated hromadas took place, some did not take place. It would be logical to complete the formation of the amalgamated hromadas, and then to hold re-elections. But making such a decision is a matter of dialogue with the deputies," Andriy Bohdan noted.
In addition, he stressed that the holding of pre-term elections is impossible without the adoption of the relevant law.
Andriy Bohdan also added that the decentralisation reform should be completed as it was planned, with the strengthening of the role of hromadas in addressing the issues of their life-sustaining activity.
