"From the legal point of view there are only two possible dates for the local elections: March-May 2010 and 27 March 2011", - Mykola Tomenko, the Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada supposes.
He expressed such a though in the course of the briefing in the Parliament on Tuesday, giving comments concerning the situation on the local elections to the local self-government bodies and elaborated by him Resolution Draft "On Elections of the People´s Deputies of the Local Councils, Village, Townships and Cities Mayors in the year 2011 (27 March 2011)" (Reg. No6068-1) registered in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 15 February.
M. Tomenko though is convinced that under the present conditions (absence of the state budget, court proceedings concerning the presidential elections returns and conflict between the terms of authority of the different institutes of local self-government) the only date is possible, that is 27 March 2011. In the legal sense this date can be provided by the amendments to the Constitution of Ukraine by the Bill that has been registered in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine long ago and was not upheld by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on five-year cadence for all the representatives of the local self-government (Reg. No4177 from 24.06.2009).
Speaking on the possibility of the conduction of elections in autumn as it is now discussed, M. Tomenko declared that it is only dates of the political appropriateness. "These dates are proposed by the Party of Regions representatives as possible for the unification with the pr-termed parliamentary elections", - the Deputy Chairman emphasized.
Giving answers to the questions concerning the possible elections in the capital of Ukraine, M. Tomenko emphasized that alteration of the elections to the local self-government bodies date has nothing in common with the possible conduction of the pre-termed elections.
