Last Saturday Organization of the Party of Regions in Zaporizhia Oblast conducted XX Conference. The members of the Party of Regions finally decided on the list of candidates for the People’s Deputies in Zaporizhia oblast. Among others the list include Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Trade Volodymyr Bandurov, MPs Yaroslav Sukhyi and Vyacheslav Bohuslayev, and also the former Mayor, who was the first candidate in the city voting list of the CPU (the Communist Party of Ukraine) and became the City Council Deputy.
During the Conference Volodymyr Bandurov claimed that his activity in the constituency aims at increasing the authority of the President, the Government, and of the Party of Regions. “Here there are two problems: first, only 35% of the constituents know about the President’s social initiatives and their implementation by the Government; second, there is a number of people, who used to support us, but now they joined those who are uncertain about their political views,” – said the Deputy Minister. Let time show if he is able to persuade the people to vote for him and what he can do to achieve this.
The final confirmation of the candidates for the deputies will be made during All-Ukrainian Congress of the Party of Regions, which is scheduled for July 30. 9 candidates will be recommended form Zaporixhxhya oblast: Yaroslav Sukhyi, Serhij Kalstev, Yevhen Kartashov, Vyacheslav Boguslayev, Valerij Baranov, Volodymyr Bandurov, Yevgen Balytskyi, Artem Pshonka, and Oleksandr Dudka.
