No preparations are underway for an election in Ukraine this summer, says David Arakhamia, group leader for President Volodymyr Zelenskyj's party Servant of the People.
All parliamentary parties and groups have agreed that elections will be held six months after the military emergency is lifted. Our stance has not changed, he says to the public service company Suspilne.
The statement comes after The Economist reported on Monday that Zelenskyj has urged his colleagues to prepare for a Ukrainian presidential election, likely to take place sometime this summer.
The President's mandate formally expired in May last year, but since martial law prevails in Ukraine, the constitution does not allow for new elections.
