On April 2, a rally of representatives of political parties and blocs and candidates for the post of Lutsk city mayor took place on Theater Square in Lutsk. The speakers expressed protest against election falsification and demanded a recount of votes or the holding of repeat elections for city mayor.

Six out of fourteen candidates for the position of Lutsk city mayor (Volodymyr Lytvyniuk, Hennadii Kozhevnikov, Oleksandr Hil, Oleh Boiko, Oleksandr Hlavatskyi, Anton Kryvytskyi) have adopted an address to Lutsk residents in which they call for support of free choice.

The Bloc of People's Democratic Parties, the PORA-PRP bloc, the People's Bloc of Lytvyn and the "Viche" party declare the need for a recount of votes at all polling stations in Ukraine without exception.

“Unfortunately, the ‘Pora-PRP’ campaign was conducted ineptly. From the slogan ‘Yes, Klitschko!’ to the inept television advertising,” Taras Stetskiv, head of the Lviv Oblast Organization of the PRP, said in a statement to the Western Information Corporation.

Incumbent Mayor of Lutsk Anton Kryvytskyi will initiate a recount of votes from the mayoral election, — the correspondent of "Pres-Taim" reported.
