BYuT lawmaker Mykola Tomenko does not rule out that the Kyiv youth may neglect the elections of capital Mayor and Kyiv City Council deputies, scheduled for May 25.

According to Tomenko’s press-service, this was the lawmaker’s comment on the poll, carried out by the Ukrainian Democratic Circles on April 18-22 on demand of the Institute of Politics.

“Considering the results of the poll, and the “active” celebration of the Kyiv Day [May 24-25], one may assume that mainly aged people will come to polling stations. That is why, presently, all participants of the electoral race should be interested that all Kyiv residents take part in deciding the future of Kyiv. The youth should not be left aside of making decisions on the Kyiv capital’s destiny”.
