Klitschko obeys new law, resigns as leader of Petro Poroshenko Bloc Solidarnist
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko has announced he tendered a resignation letter as leader of the Bloc of Petro Poroshenko "Solidarnist."
"I'd like to announce that I've applied for resignation as Solidarnist leader because the law [on civil service] bans the combination of the positions of [city] administration head and chairman or member of a political party. It will be considered by the political council. And then it will follow the procedure – the decision should be authorized by the congress, which both elects and dismisses a chairman of the party," Klitschko said at a Kyiv City Council meeting on Thursday.
In August 2015, delegates of the Bloc of Petro Poroshenko "Solidarnist" gathered for a congress to elect former leader of the UDAR Party, Kyiv Mayor Klitschko to replace Yuriy Lutsenko, who is now Prosecutor General.
