The Constitution of Ukraine has a clearly defined list of grounds for early termination of the Parliament's powers: no coalition has been formed within one month, a new Government has not been formed within 60 days of the resignation of the Cabinet of Ministers, or a plenary session cannot be held within 30 days.

As of today, none of these grounds can be a reason for dismiss of the Parliament. Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Dmytro Razumkov stated this during the briefing.

“Article 90 of the Constitution of Ukraine clearly provides for the grounds for early termination of the powers of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine by the President of Ukraine, including an unformed coalition. Today we have the Coalition in the Parliament,” the Speaker stressed.

Dmytro Razumkov stressed that never during the term of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the ninth convocation was there a precedent when the Parliament could not convene for a plenary session for 30 days.

The Speaker of the Parliament noted that, according to the current Rules of Procedure of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, only one People's Deputy within the walls of the Parliament is enough to open the plenary sitting.

The Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada stressed that, in accordance with Article 10 of the Law of Ukraine “On the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine”, the Government acquires powers and begins work after taking the oath by at least two thirds of its staff.

Dmytro Razumkov stressed that none of the three grounds for early termination of the powers of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine as of today can be a reason for dismiss of the Parliament.
