The Verkhovna Rada at the meeting in September adopted bills of resolutions No. 3 and No. 15578 and No. 15577 on the early termination of the powers of People’s Deputies Ostap Shipayl and Andriy Zhupanin from the "Servant of the People" party, according to a correspondent for the publication Gordon.
Both members of Parliament were elected to the Verkhovna Rada from the party list of SN, both wrote statements of resignation in August.
For the first time, the draft resolutions confirming their statements were considered at the August meeting 19 – and both were not supported. Shipayl lacked eight votes, Zhupanin then agreed to release even fewer MPs, and he did not have 15 votes to resign his mandate.
During the discussion in the Rada, the First Deputy Chairman of the Rules Committee Serhiy Yevtushok ("Batkivshchyna") said that he asked both about the reasons for their decision to resign. They, as the deputy said, gave "well-argued answers."
"I will think that our colleagues will be effective in other places of their work, because these are young people, people with ambitions. I understand that somewhere in the future we will see them in other positions in the executive branch, perhaps in the power branch or in state structures," he said.
In a comment to Ukrainska Pravda, Zhupanin said that he wrote the corresponding statement, noting that "it's time to channel the acquired skills and knowledge in the energy sector into a practical plane to help the country prepare for the most difficult winter in history."
When the draft resolutions were not supported during the vote, the speaker of parliament Ruslan Stefanchuk joked: "Friends, entering is easier than exiting" — and spread his arms.
