1 min read

Kyiv City Council Secretary Halyna Hereha has said she believes that she honestly won the parliamentary elections in constituency No. 215 in Kyiv, and therefore she does not accept her defeat, although she is not planning to apply to the courts.

"I consider that the victory is on my side, but I'm not planning to defend my victory in the courts," she said at a briefing on Thursday.

"The truth is on my side, because I honestly passed the entire election marathon. I'm not accepting my defeat," Hereha said.

However, she said that she would continue to work in the Desniansky and Dniprovsky districts of Kyiv.

"Regardless of the situation, I will be working with these people, and a seat in parliament is not currently a priority for me," Hereha said.

As reported, Svoboda representative Andriy Illienko won the elections in district election commission No. 215 by a margin of 191 votes. According to the Central Election Commission, he took 33.14% of the vote (32,965), while his opponent, self-nominee Hereha, garnered 32.95% (32,774 votes).
