CEC recognizes Svyryba as MP from Servant of the People instead of Kormyshkina

The Central Election Commission (CEC) recognized Inna Svyryba as elected Member of Parliament from the Servant of the People party instead of Iryna Kormyshkina, who resigned after being suspected of illicit enrichment.

This is announced in the CEC's statement, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

It is noted that the Commission received a resolution of the Verkhovna Rada dated February 25, which early terminated the powers of MP Iryna Kormyshkina, elected in the snap elections of MPs of Ukraine on July 21, 2019 in the nationwide multi-mandate electoral district from the Servant of the People political party, in connection with her personal statement about resigning from her MP powers.

The CEC considered the above-mentioned resolution and recognized Inna Svyryba, the next candidate in line, included in the electoral list of the political party Servant of the People under No. 148, as the elected Member of Parliament of Ukraine in the above-mentioned elections.

57-year-old Svyryba has a medical degree, but at the time of the 2019 elections she was listed as temporarily unemployed. She worked as an interior designer and decorator, and studied at the European School of Design (Kyiv).

Before that, she worked as a hematologist in the Department of Radiation Hematology of the National Scientific Center of Radiation Medicine of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine.

She graduated from the Ivan Horbachevsky Ternopil National Medical University and received a diploma of a general practitioner. She also graduated from the Platon Shupyk National Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education in Kyiv with a degree in "hematologist".

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on February 25, the Verkhovna Rada prematurely terminated the powers of Iryna Kormyshkina (formerly Allakhverdieva), MP from the Servant of the People faction. Kormyshkina previously stated that she had received UAH 14 million as a gift from her father, but did not have time to legalize them because he had died, but the NACP did not believe this.
