Maryna Stavniichuk, one of the deputy heads of the Presidential Secretariat, has ruled out postponement of the early parliamentary elections.
Stavniichuk was speaking to Ukrainian News.
«I am ruling out such a possibility,» Stavniichuk said when asked whether the date of the elections could be postponed.
Stavniichuk said that the issues that needed to be resolved to allow organization of the early parliamentary elections were mainly technical issues and that they could be resolved without an active parliament.
As Ukrainian News earlier reported, the head of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc’s parliamentary faction, Ivan Kyrylenko, has said that he is not ruling out the possibility of President Viktor Yuschenko suspending his decree on dissolution of the parliament.
Parliamentary Deputy Borys Tarasiuk of the Our Ukraine-People’s Self-Defense bloc, who is also the leader of the Narodnyi Rukh of Ukraine party, is forecasting that the early parliamentary elections will be postponed.
Tarasiuk believes that it is impossible to hold early parliamentary elections before the issue of financing the elections and creation of a register of voters are resolved.
Yuschenko announced the dissolution of the parliament on October 8.
The relevant decree was signed and published (meaning that it came into force) on October 10.
Yuschenko scheduled early parliamentary elections for December 7.
