Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has welcomed the adoption of the new Electoral Code by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

In a post on his Facebook page, he wrote: "The adoption of the Electoral Code envisaging the norm on open lists is undoubtedly a victory of the Ukrainian parliament. I’ve been supporting open party lists and full transparency in regional districts. And I’ve suggested that this norm be introduced as soon as possible”.
