“According to the procedure, it is necessary to register a resolution, submit it under the dome, and if there are 226 votes, you can change the positions of deputies in committees,” Kreydenko said.
He also said that he supported the decision to expel Tishchenko from the faction.
“I supported the decision to expel Tishchenko from the party and supported the decision of David Arakhamia regarding the exclusion of Nikolai Tishchenko from the faction and from the post of deputy head of the faction“, – said the deputy.

Tishchenko helped sabotage the elections in the 87th constituency in the Ivano-Frankivsk region (the candidate from the ruling party Vasily Virastyuk won there), and in the capital – adjust “dialogue” between Bankova and Denis Komarnitsky.
