25 members of parliament missed 90% of Verkhovna Rada votes over the year – CVU
The most active voters were deputies from Servant of the People and European Solidarity; the least active were from OPZZh.
The Committee of Voters analyzed the participation rates of members of parliament in votes of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in 2021. According to CVU data, 25 members of parliament missed 90% of the Rada’s votes over the year.
One member of parliament did not vote even once — this is Taras Kozak from Opposition Platform — For Life. Among other deputies with almost zero participation: Oles Dovhyi (took part in 0,23% of votes), Vadym Stolar (0,56%), Fedir Khrystenko (0,99%), Yuriy Solod (0,99%), Vadym Rabinovych (1%), Serhiy Lyovochkin (1%), Serhiy Larin (1%), Ihor Abramovych (1%), Renat Kuzmin (1%), Stepan Ivakhiv (1%).
Viktor Medvedchuk took part in 3% of votes, Andriy Derkach – 3%, Oleksandr Feldman – 3%, Yuriy Boyko – 3%, Oleksandr Dubinskyi – 4%, Dmytro Shentsev – 4%, Oleksandr Puzanov – 4%, Yuliya Lyovochkina – 5%, Ihor Palytsia – 6%, Anton Yatsenko – 8%, Ihor Kisilov – 9%, Vitaliy Bort – 9%, Hryhoriy Surkis – 10%, Oleksandr Hereha – 10%.
Over the year, deputies from Servant of the People and European Solidarity voted most actively. On average, members of the single-party majority participated in 83% of votes (pressed “for,” “against,” or “abstained”). European Solidarity deputies took part in 80% of votes.
Voting rates were almost the same for deputies of the Dovira group and Holos. On average, deputies of these political forces participated in 72% of votes. Deputies of Batkivshchyna had a lower result (62%) as did the For the Future group (54%). The lowest rates were among deputies of Opposition Platform — For Life, who effectively boycotted most votes during the year (took part in 38%).
“Some members of parliament effectively boycotted voting in the Verkhovna Rada in 2021, not voting either ‘for,’ ‘against,’ or ‘abstained.’ Such behavior undermines trust in the parliament’s work and contradicts the principles of a deputy’s duties. In the IX convocation of the Rada a system of fines was introduced, which are imposed on a deputy in case of nonparticipation in votes. However, in practice this has changed little and has not solved the main problem,” said CVU head Oleksiy Koshel.
In total, in 2021 there were 5 681 votes.
