Today, in an informal atmosphere of Papryka art cafe in Cherkasy city, MP candidate in district #194 Mykola Bulatetskyi has held a press-conference. During the conference, he informed that he's not going to file any lawsuits despite the elections were falsified. He decided to leave the electoral process instead.

On the beginning of the press-conference, Mykola Bulatetskyi has shortly described events of the previous day, particularly he told journalists about the voter bribery during the election day, about carousel voting, rotations in the PECs, and other violations which have affected the elections. However, despite the candidate's team has enough evidences, Mykola Bulatetskyi is not going to register a claim, because he thinks that it won't give any results.

Besides that, journalists started to frankly asking Mykola Bulatetskyi whether he has received some monetary remuneration for such inactivity during the elections, as long as he wasn't active in the race during the last few months. Mr. Bulatetskyi didn't give any particular answers to such questions, but considers such assumptions are nonsense.

Thus, a journalist of the Inter TV Channel Stanislav Kukharchuk has told that his colleagues saw two cars leaving the premises of Mr. Bulatetskyi's headquarters, one of which was a white jeep, probably belonging to Mykhailo Poplavskyi. "The candidate has suddenly become inactive. Besides that, there were talks in the Oblast State Administration that Mykola Bulatetskyi has sold himself to Poplavskyi," – told the journalist. According to him, Mykola Bulatetskyi was too passive despite the large number of bribery incidents.
