European Solidarity initiates recall procedure for Poltava city councillor Andriy Karpov

The Poltava territorial organisation of the European Solidarity party has officially launched the mechanism for recalling local self-governance member Andriy Karpov. The initiative is being implemented through a popular initiative. The main grounds for this step are the politician's departure from Ukraine and his failure to fulfil his duties as a councillor.

Conference schedule

The recall process involves several stages. Specifically, the second stage of gathering representatives of the party's local organisation is scheduled to take place on 27 October.

Andriy Karpov's position

Andriy Karpov himself, who is also known by the blogger pseudonym Andriy Poltava, believes that his recall is a consequence of a prolonged confrontation with the leadership of European Solidarity. According to the deputy, such disagreements have existed for several years.

Among the key causes of the conflict, Karpov cites differing views on the potential voting of the European Solidarity faction on certain city council decisions. Tensions also arose over the issue of cooperation with representatives of the Servant of the People party.

Previously, media reported on disputes between Karpov and European Solidarity People's Deputy Nina Yuzhanina.
