276 deputies voted for the corresponding decision.
When the result appeared on the scoreboard in the hall, an ironic roar was heard from the deputies. The fact is that at one time draft 4105, which is actually identical to draft 4180, also in the first reading, during the well-known voting by show of hands, also received 276 votes.
Now draft 4180 must be considered by the Constitutional Court. And at the next session, the deputies must approve it by a constitutional majority of 300 votes.
Before this, the parliament did not approve in the first reading the draft amendments to the Constitution 3207-1.
At this time, representatives of "Our Ukraine" and the BYuT blocked the rostrum. Because of the roar of a low-frequency siren, it was impossible to hear in the hall which draft was being announced.
Together with the opposition members, the leader of "Regions of Ukraine" Raisa Bohatyryova and the representative of the SDPU(o) Nestor Shufrych were also near the presidium, whom the opposition members tried several times to push away from Lytvyn's chair. However, Shufrych held on and before the start of the voting gave some kind of signal to the hall.
