The Central Election Commission (CEC) has registered the party ticket of the Batkivschyna United Opposition, but refused to register former Ukrainian Premier Yulia Tymoshenko and former Ukrainian Interior Minister Yuriy Lutsenko as candidates for people's deputies, Interfax reports.
The CEC approved this decision at a sitting on Wednesday.
Deputy Head of the CEC Zhanna Usenko-Chorna said that the party ticket included a total of 225 candidates for people's deputies, including Tymoshenko and Lutsenko.
Tymoshenko and Lutsenko indicated in their autobiographies that they had "politically motivated convictions."
Usenko-Chorna stressed that the CEC has no right to evaluate court rulings.
"Thus, today the CEC has no reason to register them," she said.
