Zelensky can only be re-elected together with parliament - Karasev
Early elections to the Verkhovna Rada may take place in 2021 or 2022, but holding them is not in the interests of the current president, so such elections can only be held simultaneously with the presidential elections.
Political scientist and director of the Institute of Global Strategies Vadim Karasev stated this on the NEWSONE television channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“There is no point in just separate (albeit early) parliamentary elections. It makes sense to demand early parliamentary and presidential elections. This scenario does not necessarily happen. But if we talk about early parliamentary elections and take into account that these elections are disadvantageous for the president, then we can only talk about them and make such an assumption together with early presidential elections.
This does not mean a 2021% scenario, but there is a possibility – for 2022-XNUMX. Look what’s going on in the world and what’s happening here, although we’re already used to it,” Karasev said.
