The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine supported a resolution proposing that President Leonid Kuchma, in connection with the elections in Mukachevo, dismiss the governor of the Zakarpattia region and give an assessment of the destabilizing actions of certain individuals in the presidential administration. 238 deputies voted for this resolution, including four opposition factions, four deputies from "Regions of Ukraine," 13 deputies from "Center," one from "Deminitiatives," one from the Agrarian Party faction, 11 from the NDP, and 10 non-affiliated deputies. In the adopted resolution, the parliament recommends that the president dismiss the head of the Zakarpattia regional administration, Ivan Rizak (a member of the SDPU(o)). The Verkhovna Rada also proposes that the minister of internal affairs dismiss the head of the Zakarpattia militia, Vartsaba, and his deputy, Rusyn. In addition, the parliament appeals to the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Hennadiy Vasyliev, with a call to file a protest against the decision of the Mukachevo territorial election commission, which recognized Ernest Nuser, a candidate from the SDPU(o), as the winner in the mayoral elections. Furthermore, the parliament calls on Vasyliev to open a criminal case regarding the facts of election falsification in Mukachevo and the beating of people's deputies. The parliament decided to once again hear from law enforcement officials regarding the results of the investigation into the events in Mukachevo on June 1, 2004. In the final point of the resolution, the parliament appeals to the president with a recommendation to give a legal assessment of the actions of certain individuals in the presidential administration who are destabilizing the situation in the state. Prior to this, the parliament did not support an amendment to the resolution that would have included a proposal to dismiss Viktor Medvedchuk from the post of head of the Presidential Administration. 212 deputies voted for this, out of the required 226.
