In the early elections to the Ternopil Regional Council, BYuT, Svoboda, and Our Ukraine are leading
- These political forces have the best chances to gain the largest number of seats in the new regional council. The Lytvyn Bloc, People’s Self-Defense, and the “United Center” party also have strong chances to enter the regional council.
At the local level, BYuT’s support is lower than its support at the national level. - In Ternopil Oblast, more people are dissatisfied than satisfied with the performance of the local authorities.
- Despite the fact that more than half of local residents (54%) believe the region currently needs radical changes (while 40% favor stability), only 40% supported the decision to hold early elections to the Ternopil Regional Council.
- This relatively low level of support can be explained by the negative attitude toward the phenomenon of “repeat elections”, which formed after the announcement of early parliamentary elections in Ukraine in October of the previous year and was accompanied by strong criticism from certain political forces.
- Nevertheless, a high voter turnout is expected in the early elections to the Ternopil Regional Council.
40% said they would definitely vote on March 15, 2009, 35% said they would probably vote, 20% said they would definitely or most likely not vote, and 5% were undecided.
