The Deputy Head of UKROP in Kyiv, chairman of Solomyansky district party organization Iryna Holovatenko has become an official participant of the UKROP party presidential primaries. The relevant decision was taken by the election commission on preparing and holding the election of the nominee for President from UKROP at its regular meeting.
“The thing that has motivated me most for participating in the first political primaries in the country is the desire to act, to encourage others to make life in Ukraine really better for the benefit of every Ukrainian in particular and civil society as a whole,” said Iryna Holovatenko.
In the opinion of the candidate, consolidation of civil society is needed to build a successful Ukraine, because the authorities failed to meet the expectations of the Ukrainians after the Revolution of Dignity.
“Today, many of us, Ukrainians, are outraged with the state of affairs in the country. Being an active and conscious citizen, ready to make decisions and take responsibility, I am ready together with real patriots to build a new Ukraine today,” said Iryna Holovatenko.

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.
