CEC recognizes the President's Permanent Representative in Crimea as a member of the Verkhovna Rada

The Central Election Commission has recognized the Permanent Representative of the President in Crimea Tamila Tasheva as the elected MP of Ukraine from the Voice party.

This was reported by the CEC press service.

Tasheva received a seat in the Verkhovna Rada instead of the deceased MP from her party , Oleg Makarov, as she is the next candidate in the electoral list of the Golos political party. After Makarov's death, Ivan Prymachenko, CEO of the online educational platform Prometheus, and Pavlo Kukhta, former First Deputy Minister of Economy, also applied for the seat. But they wrote statements that they would not go to parliament. Accordingly, Tamila Tasheva was given the right to run for parliament.

At the same time, on Friday, Tasheva said on the air of the national TV marathon "United News" that she would not go to the Verkhovna Rada either.

"I am needed in my position now. I have been working in the president's vertical for five years. I consider myself a member of the president's political team. Of course, now we are all working for the same goal, for the state of Ukraine, but for now I do not plan to go to parliament," Interfax-Ukraine quoted her as saying.

The Voice faction in the parliament consists of 19 MPs.
