Shapoval ready continue heading CEC

Chairman of the Central Election Commission Volodymyr Shapoval is ready for any decision about his further stay in office after reaching the age of 65, which is the maximum for a public servant.

"In any case, I do not fell any discomfort for a variety of reasons," Shapoval said in interview.

"In this regard, I performed all the necessary steps, required of me as a public servant. I will not go into details. I can explain one thing: the members of the CEC in accordance with the law on the Central Election Commission are appointed by the Verkhovna Rada upon recommendation of the President," he recalled.

"When I addressed the top officials, I heard that I could still work. It is known that amendments to the relevant law are adopted, according to which a public servant of the first category after reaching 65 years of age may continue to hold office if there is his consent and consent of the body, which appointed him. I thanked for the proposal and said that I have doubts about continued stay in office," the head of the Central Election Commission said.

"On the other hand, I can not say right now that I refuse to - it would be absolutely inaccurate. I am ready to talk on any issues," he said.

On May 25, Shapoval will reach 65 years.
