A new MP from the “Servant of the People” party Serhiy Melnyk has appeared in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. He was sworn in on April 15.
This was reported by the MP from “Voice” Yaroslav Zheleznyak.
At the end of February 2025, the Rada terminated the powers of MP Iryna Kormyshkina. Kormyshkina was suspected of illicit enrichment, she pleaded guilty and made a deal with the investigation.
After that, a vacancy appeared in the Rada. Inna Svyryba was the next candidate in line after Iryna Kormyshkina, but she submitted an application to renounce her seat in the Verkhovna Rada. The commission recognized her as not having acquired a deputy mandate.
Therefore, the next in line, Serhiy Melnyk, was recognized as the elected MP.
