Ukrainian TV star Volodymyr Zelenskiy dissolves the country’s parliament moments after he was sworn in as the country’s new president
Ukraine's President-elect Volodymyr Zelenskiy takes the oath during his inauguration ceremony in the parliament hall in Kiev May 20, 2019.
A presidential decree formally disbanding the parliament is expected later on Monday. If all goes to plan, the snap election will be held within two months after the decree is signed. "People are tired of experienced... politicians who for 28 years have been building a country of opportunities," he said. Controversial move
And in a dramatic move last week, the Rada announced the collapse of the ruling parliamentary coalition. According to parliamentary rules, the chamber cannot be dissolved for 30 days after the governing coalition has been disbanded. "The legally dubious decision to disband parliament will certainly be contested in court but Zelenskiy has shown that it is going to be him w ho will lay down the agenda and that he will dominate the political landscape," he said.
At the end of his swearing-in ceremony Zelenskiy asked the Supreme Rada to adopt a bill against illegal enrichment and support his motions to fire the country’s defence minister, the head of the Ukrainian Security Service and the Prosecutor General. All are allies of Poroshenko.
