23 февраля 2018

The Campaign-2018 was quite organized and clam. Within a month, the representatives will start working.

At these moments, the chairmen of all regional centers and Minsk’s election commission reports on electoral campaign in their regions, complaints from observers, candidates and voters and handling controversial situations.

As for the new structure of the deputy councils:

According to the CEC, 18 110 deputies were elected. People decided to vote for those electors who showed themselves in deed. More than a half of those electors to local deputy councils (56%) are deputies of the current 27th convocation. There are only few young deputies, only 4% of candidates under 30 were elected. The 28th convocation half of the candidates will be women and non-party persons. There is an additional public duty for elected deputies. They work mainly in large industrial and communal enterprises, in educational and healthcare institutions.

57 people will be responsible for the budget of Minsk and its economic and social development programs. The staff was renewed not completely, about 60% only. 22 of them are deputies of the current convocation, some of them won this election several times, so they may be regarded as experienced people.

There are also new favorites in this convocation. Just like our sportsmen’s loud victories in South Korea, his own victory in the electoral race won the Olympic freestyle champion Alexei Grishin.
