The Central Election Commission, at its meeting today, has replaced two more members (including the Secretary) of the district election commission No.197, which is in Kaniv of Cherkasy Oblast.
Let us remind that earlier, due to the fact that members of DEC No.197 neither appeared at work nor took phone calls, the Central Election Commission replaced eight out of eighteen members of the DEC. Now the DEC has adjourned until 7pm. Therefore, a desperate struggle between a self-nominated candidate Bohdan Hubskyi and the candidate of the political party All-Ukrainian Union Fatherland Leonid Datsenko, who, according to the CEC website, so far is winning with a small gap.
