The MP from UKROP Oleksandr Shevchenko has become an official candidate for the nominee for President of Ukraine from the “Ukrainian Association of Patriots”. The relevant decision was adopted by the election commission on preparing and holding the election of the candidate for President from UKROP at its regular meeting.
“My program, in which I believe, is the program “Ukraine is a country of dignity and truth”. The issue of dignity of our state in the world, dignity of a citizen in the state, the issues of truth and justice cover everything,” said the MP.
In the opinion of the UKROP member, our country needs real changes. To this end, new people should come to power: “We need to make the absolute majority of politicians, people from the system who are thinking of corrupt principles and who have been in power and then in opposition for the last 20 years, go into political retirement – to thank some of them, and to ask some of them to tell about their multi-million wealth with the salary of an official, deputy, minister, investigator or judge.”
The program and candidate’s autobiography can be found here http://www.ukrop.com.ua/uk/primaries.
The start of the UKROP party presidential primaries was announced at the Party Congress on March 3. Those willing to compete for a senior position in the state submitted the relevant applications to the secretariat of the political force. After the end of registration, the applicants will have five months to present their programs in the regions. The only candidate for the President from UKROP will be nominated by the end of the year at the next Party Congress.
It is to be recalled, UKROP was the first among political parties in Ukraine to begin the primaries procedure. The candidate for President will be elected by open public voting. Primaries are a common practice for many democratic countries in the world. They are widely used, in particular, in the United States, Great Britain, Israel, Spain, and more recently in Italy and France.
