The tenth session of the Volyn Regional Council of the fourth convocation is underway in the regional council's meeting hall. The session began its work at 10 a.m. As of 11:50, the head of the regional council, Vasyl Dmytruk, read out a statement on the creation of a new faction in the regional council — "Statehood". It already includes 17 people. The faction will be headed by the head of the Kovel district state administration, Vitaliy Karpyuk. However, Vasyl Dmytruk drew attention to violations of the regional council's rules of procedure and current legislation in the process of creating this faction. The creation of a deputy group "Dialogue" was also announced. It will be headed by Masalov V.K. Sixteen deputies have already expressed a desire to join the deputy group.
The situation with the deputy of the regional council for the 19th multi-mandate electoral district (Turiysk district) is interesting. The head of the territorial election commission, Petro Yastreb, and the secretary, Svitlana Huschenko, were present at the regional council session. However, the deputies decided not to summon the TEC representatives to announce the election results in the aforementioned electoral district, since the case is under consideration in the city court. Therefore, the head of the council, Dmytruk, proposed waiting until the court announces its decision. Let us recall that by its decision of February 28, 2004, despite the Decision of the Lutsk city court (which effectively annulled the voting results in respect of one candidate, namely Mr. Ivan Dzyamulych), the TEC again recognized the head of the regional education department as the winner of the elections and registered him as a deputy. Representatives of "Our Ukraine" filed a lawsuit against the TEC in court for failure to comply with court Decisions. But the court hearings that were to take place on March 12 and again on March 15 did not take place. First, TEC representatives failed to appear without valid reasons, and before the next hearing, the authorized members of the commission did not participate in the court hearing, citing their state of health. The next court hearing is on March 19.
