The deputies of the Verkhovna Rada were unable to appoint two judges to the Constitutional Court according to their quota.
This was reported by Ukrinform.
As noted, none of the four candidates submitted by the advisory group of experts managed to gain the required 226 votes.
The most votes — 224 — went to Zakhar Tropin, Director of the Department of International Cooperation and Representation of the Ministry of Justice.
179 people’s deputies voted for Yulia Kyrychenko, a member of the board of the Center for Political and Legal Reforms and an advisor to the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk.
The candidacy of Oksana Klymenko, a consultant to the Verkhovna Rada Research Service on legal policy issues, received 90 votes.
Prosecutor of the UCP Taras Tsymbalisty received 84 votes from people’s deputies.
Due to the fact that no one received the required number of votes, Stefanchuk instructed the Committee on Legal Policy to announce a new competition for the election of judges to the Constitutional Court of Ukraine.
