All the participants of election process must strictly observe the
Law on Local Elections, President Yanukovych said in an interview
in Kirovohrad, presidential press office reported.
The President called the use of administrative
resources by public officials for political purposes unacceptable. "It
is unacceptable in the electoral process. It is in fact violation of the
electoral legislation. Whatever the law, it must be observed. This
applies to all the participants of the electoral process," he said.
The Head of State pointed out that some political forces are trying to
shift their internal party problems onto the government, or make
statements that the government interferes in their internal party
affairs.
"It shows these party organizations’ weakness and that
they fail to manage their internal processes and try to blame someone
else for that," he said.
Viktor Yanukovych said that over time
these issues will be solved in Ukraine, particularly when election laws
are brought together in the Election Code
He also noted that he had warned regional governors against
interfering in the electoral process, and that they must ensure equal
conditions for all political forces on the election day and during the
vote count.
"The electoral process must be exclusively based on
the law on elections," he said, warning that violators will be made
answerable in accordance with the law.
