On October 6, 2005, the Volyn Oblast Organization "People's Union Our Ukraine" held its II conference, in which 620 delegates participated - representatives of all city and district party organizations and village party cells. The conference took place in a working, democratic, and at times even rather sharp atmosphere. The conference work lasted about 4 hours, and everyone who wished had the opportunity to speak.
The head of the Volyn Oblast Organization of the "People's Union Our Ukraine" party, V. Karpuk, reported that primary cells have been established in all village and settlement councils in Volyn. Despite the active development of the party, the use of administrative resources is categorically not permitted. The Volyn Oblast Organization "People's Union Our Ukraine" currently has 6,815 party members. As noted by the head of the executive committee of the Volyn Oblast Organization "Our Ukraine," M. Buliha, behind these numbers stands the great work of executive district and city structures and activists - "Our Ukraine" members. But numbers in no way dominate over quality: in Volyn, "notable" people join the party - people with professional achievements, high morality, and authority. They constitute the "golden party core," which forms and spreads the party's influence among the community.
Five additional members were elected to the Council of the Volyn Oblast Party Organization; at present the Council consists of 29 people. By a decision of the conference, a list of 50 delegates to the II Party Congress, which will take place on November 12 in the city of Kyiv, was also approved.
In addition, the participants of the conference of the Volyn Oblast Organization "People's Union Our Ukraine" adopted an Appeal to the Party Congress regarding bloc formation and the party's participation in the 2006 election campaign. The main provisions of the Appeal are as follows: to invite political forces of the national-democratic orientation who supported V. Yushchenko during the 2004 election campaign and who currently jointly implement the program of the President of Ukraine in parliament and in the government to form an election bloc for the parliamentary elections; to preserve the name of the bloc as in 2002 - Viktor Yushchenko's Bloc "Our Ukraine"; when forming the election list, it is necessary to take into account the real rating of the political forces that intend to join Viktor Yushchenko's Bloc "Our Ukraine." In the Appeal, Volyn party members emphasize the need to form local election blocs with a configuration different from the national one due to regional differences and the local party-political situation, while preserving the name of the bloc.
In connection with the social tension that arose after the statements by Zinchenko, Tomenko, and Turchynov with accusations of corruption against members of the Party Council, the conference participants also adopted an Appeal to the Party Council calling on their fellow party members to find the strength within themselves to make the right choice regarding their personal participation in the election campaign and to adopt a politically balanced decision. After all, the events as a result of which a shadow fell on the reputation of members of the Party Council carry a serious danger for the party's image, especially on the eve of parliamentary elections.
