The electoral reform guarantees qualitative approach to replacement of Ukraine’s political elite. It is an important part of the coalition agreement, Ukraine's international obligation, and Petro Poroshenko’s campaign pledge," said the rally organizers represented by members of Chesno, Automaidan, VO Svoboda, and Khvilya civil society movements as well as Ukraine’s European Party, Samopomich, Hromadska Pozytsia, Democratic Alliance, Narodnyi Rukh Ukrainy, National Corps, Syla Liudei, Vyzvolennia movement, Ukrainska Halytska Party.
