A new MP has been sworn in at the Verkhovna Rada — Mykola Davydiuk
This was revealed during the broadcast of the parliamentary session.
Davydiuk stood for parliament in the 2019 snap elections on the ‘Holos’ party list in the nationwide multi-member constituency.
After the Verkhovna Rada stripped MP Volodymyr Tsabal of his mandate on the second attempt at the end of May, Davydiuk was recognised as the elected MP in his place.
