USURPER? How the Head of the High Council of Justice Is Trying to 'Stay Put' in the Cozy Seat 🛑
‼️Colleagues exposed a scheme to usurp power in the High Council of Justice. 👉 https://t.me/PodMantiyey/7477
🤓We checked this information and, from our own sources, confirm: Hryhoriy Usyk apparently has no intention of leaving his office when his term expires.
What is this opportunist planning? A) To derail the judges’ congress so it won’t have time to elect his replacement before 11 January 2027. B) To manipulate the provision about extension of powers (part 3 of article 5 of the Law 'On the High Council of Justice'), which applies only when the body loses quorum.
What’s the trick and why is the plan doomed? Reminder: currently the HCJ has 17 members (15 are enough for a quorum). On 11 January 2027, the terms of five members expire at once: Alla Kotelevets, Hryhoriy Usyk, Oleksandr Sasevych, Yuliia Bokova, and Olha Popikova.
But in 2023 they were sworn in not simultaneously but one after another. See the video evidence (timecode 5:14:00): 🔗 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWt6ABkQeTU
☝️The sequence was: Kotelevets, Usyk, Sasevych, Bokova, and Popikova. Their terms expire in that same chronological order.
What does this mean legally?
The first two—Kotelevets and Usyk—leave first. Without them the HCJ retains a valid composition (there remain exactly 15 members!). Therefore, the provision on 90 days of extension of powers does not apply to them at all. Mr. Usyk has no lawful grounds to cling to his seat. 🥂🍾They pack their things and, by tradition, celebrate at an upscale restaurant.
The termination of Sasevych’s term and those of the following members will already cause loss of quorum, so they really will be able to use the right to a 90-day transitional period.
📌 Therefore, to the notorious Mr. Usyk, who has lettered cubes 'ZH', 'O', 'P', and 'A', we advise against sabotaging the judges’ congress. Usurping power after 11.01.2027 won’t work.
💸Better to reserve a table now at a good restaurant to celebrate the end of your term and to receive a substantial severance—during the peak of the New Year holidays seating may be tight. 🥂
