Oleksandr Akhmerov, director of the city's municipal property department and a member of the regional council, has become the new head of the "Trust the Deeds" party in the Odesa City Council.

Prior to that, Mr. Akhmerov worked as the first deputy director of this department. Oleksandr Akhmerov is a former member of the Party of Regions. During the 2010 elections, he was the chairman of the Odesa City Election Commission.
