The 2015 local elections in Ukraine have seen intense discussions and actions particularly surrounding the mayoral elections in Kryvyi Rih. The Parliament is set to address the calls for a mayoral revote in Kryvyi Rih following widespread protests and allegations of vote rigging. The Verkhovna Rada and various political factions including the Petro Poroshenko Bloc are in talks to validate a draft law to potentially schedule the revote for March 27. MP Yehor Soboliev has been vocal, urging for an immediate and legal resolution to the contested election results, reflecting the civil unrest and dissatisfaction among Kryvyi Rih residents. Several issues like ballot box stuffing and disruptions during election commission meetings highlight the challenges faced. The Opposition Bloc's stance and the resultant public protests indicate the contentious nature of the elections, potentially leading to significant political decisions.
