“It is very, very beneficial to be a patriot of one's region,” said the Head of the Oblast Council. “For the next term, people will simply ask you to stand for the parliamentary election again. We've already had meetings with Vasyl Mykhailovych but we also have other positions. Both the Governor and I have chosen the deputy of the Oblast Council until 2012, and we have a lot of work to do. And we have decided on support of Danylo Mykhailovych Korylkevych. This decision wasn't just spontaneous but was so rational that we have withdrawn our candidate of the Party of Regions Petro Danylovych Kolodych from the election race. He isn't on the electoral list as a candidate any more.”
