MP Viktor Baloha is pushing his candidate, Bohdan Andreyev, for the Uzhhorod mayoral seat. Reports have also emerged that Baloha will attempt to install Vasyl Kovach (popularly known as Kilovolt), a former majoritarian MP known for bribing voters, in the Zakarpattia Regional Council as his protégé. This information was published by the Zakarpattia Insider.
Bohdan Andreyev currently serves as the city council secretary and has recently been closely linked to Zakarpattia MP Viktor Baloha. Baloha is lobbying for Andreyev's candidacy for mayor from his political party, the United Center.
It is also known that former MP Vasyl Kovach will run for the Uzhhorod Regional Council from Viktor Baloha's political force. He already attempted to gain a seat in the Verkhovna Rada from the 68th constituency in Mukachevo during the last parliamentary elections. However, Mr. Ratushnyak prevented him from doing so, playing into the hands of UDAR candidate Robert Horvat and stealing several thousand votes from Kovach by nominating a technical candidate with the same name as Kovach.
As noted in the Transcarpathian publication's article, "Politics is a dirty business, and the latest political solitaire games only prove the thesis that Transcarpathian politicians are mostly interested only in their own interests, and former enemies are becoming 'dear friends.'" It's worth noting that one of the above-mentioned figures financed the anti-Maidan protests in Kyiv.
