The dissertation generalizes the mechanisms of formation and operation of the absolute majority.
David Arakhamia, the head of the Servant of the People faction, will defend a dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public Administration. This is reported on the website of the Scientific-Consultative Center of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.
It is noted that the defense is scheduled for 8 September at 13:00. It will also be available for online viewing. The topic of Arakhamia’s work is “Features of the Activities of a Deputy Faction with Coalition Status in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.”

In Arakhamia’s opinion, it practically fulfills the functions of a coalition within a single deputy faction.
In the practical part of the study, Arakhamia proposed a number of changes to develop the institutional capacity of factions that perform coalition functions. In particular, for decision-making efficiency, he recommends creating a “small faction,” and for attracting experts to the legislative drafting work—founding a special expert council.
“The development of a matrix of the resilience of a delegation in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the IX convocation in the conditions of martial law and postwar recovery of Ukraine, which brings together a set of practical recommendations to strengthen its structural-functional capacity,” the abstract states.
According to Arakhamia, this matrix provides for increasing the efficiency of parliamentary procedures by introducing a single digital platform, integrating European Union standards into lawmaking, and optimizing inter-fractional dialogue.
As a reminder, according to the public initiative “Needle” research results, the parliamentary faction “Servant of the People” lost its effective monoblock and since May 2023 year has not once given 226 or more votes for bills that ultimately became laws in Ukraine. To pass key decisions, the authorities are forced to constantly involve auxiliary votes from parliamentary groups and the opposition, as evidenced by:
