Tihipko is dragging the patron of Luhansk's "titushki" into the Verkhovna Rada.

Another former Luhansk official has decided to run in the parliamentary elections: the Central Election Commission has registered the candidacy of former Deputy Luhansk Mayor and former head of the Luhansk city organization of the Party of Regions, Oleksandr Tkachenko.
Information about this was posted on the website of the Central Electoral Commission, reports Informator.

Tkachenko is running in the 108th single-mandate constituency (Krasny Luch and Perevalsky district). He is nominated by Serhiy Tihipko's Strong Ukraine party.

As a member of the Luhansk Regional Council from the Party of Regions, Tkachenko supported the creation of "self-defense units." As deputy mayor, he provided extensive support to the pro-Russian extremist youth organization "Luhansk Guard," which participated in the dispersal of a rally commemorating Shevchenko's anniversary and the second seizure of the regional state administration building (March 9, 2014).

In March 2014, Tkachenko spoke out in defense of the Luhansk Guard tent camp set up outside the Luhansk Regional State Administration building. "I received a call from the new government asking me to remove the tents in the Great Patriotic War Square. My position is 'NO STEP BACK!'" he wrote on his social media page at the time. As a reminder, Luhansk Guard activists subsequently participated in the seizure of the SBU building and later joined the ranks of the "militia."

At the moment, Alexander Tkachenko is in Kyiv.

As a reminder, Luhansk Mayor Serhiy Kravchenko and Chairman of the Luhansk Regional Council Valeriy Golenko have put forward their candidacies in the snap parliamentary elections.
