Amalgamated hromadas of the Kyiv Oblast – the Baryshivska, Borodyanska, Hostomelska AHs, as well as earlier Myronivska AH – appealed to the Central Election Commission with a request to appoint the first local elections on their territory and in almost 130 AHs by the end of the year.

The hromadas remind that they have undergone a difficult way of formation, struggling with the reform opponents, that are numerous in the Kyiv Oblast, as well as the lack of residents’ understanding and belief in future changes.

To ensure that the titanic work of hromadas on the path to amalgamation is not in vain, AHs are asking the Central Election Commission to appoint the first elections in December 2018. This will enable hromadas to complete amalgamation process and start working in new environment – with greater powers, resources and responsibility – from the beginning of next year.
