CCU against migration of people’s deputies in VR

The Constitutional Court of Ukraine recognized as unconstitutional the right of the people’s deputy for no entance or withdrawal from the faction of the party which had the people’s deputy in its party-list during the election.

This decision of CCU was published on June 27, 2008 regarding the stay of the people’s deputy in the faction of the Verkhovna Rada.

“To recognize as unconstitutional the regulations - parts 5, 6 Article 13 of the Law “About the status of the people’s deputy of Ukraine” – of the right of the people’s deputy to withdraw free from the faction or group and be out of the registered factions,” according to the conclusion of CCU, as Interfax-Ukraine reports.

Moreover, the Constitutional Court dismissed a case about official interpretation of the Constitution regulations about the early expiration of the term of office of the people’s deputies, in case of non-membership or withdrawal from the faction of the party which had the people’s deputy in its party-list during the elections, as this process must be adjusted on the legislative level.
