Ukraine’s parliament has overwhelmingly approved a resolution affirming the legitimacy of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s stay in office, asserting the constitutionality of deferring the presidential election while the country is at war. The 268 parliament members present on Tuesday voted unanimously to approve the resolution, while 12 other MPs were not present during the session.
The resolution was designed by the parliamentary leadership as a symbolic show of support for Zelenskyy, whose regular term in office ended in May. The document also referred to Article 108 of the Ukrainian constitution, according to which the incumbent head of state remains in power until the next elected president takes office.
