President Zelensky has tasked members of parliament with finding a way to hold elections while martial law is in effect by the end of the month, his chief legal advisor has told The Times.
“We want to be ready to conduct elections,” said Iryna Mudra, the deputy head of Ukraine’s presidential office. “Parliament has created a working group to develop changes to election legislation, and they are due to report their findings by the end of February.”
Parliamentary elections are not being considered by the working group, meaning that, even if ousted as president, Zelensky would still control the largest grouping of MPs.
