Kushnarenko elected member of Presidium of Belarusian People's Congress
MINSK, 19 December (BelTA) – Chairman of the Minsk Oblast Council of Deputies Aleksei Kushnarenko was elected member of the Presidium of the Belarusian People’s Congress. The results of the corresponding secret ballot among delegates were announced at the session of the Belarusian People's Congress on 19 December, BelTA has learned.
The need to elect a new member to the Presidium arose in the spring of this year following personnel changes in the government as Konstantin Burak was appointed as Assistant to the President - Inspector for Grodno Oblast, thereby losing his status as a delegate of the Belarusian People's Congress and a member of the Presidium.
The Presidium of the Belarusian People's Congress is a permanent collective body accountable to the Congress and responsible for the prompt resolution of matters within the purview of the Congress. The members of the Presidium include the Chairman of the Congress and his deputies. Other members of the Presidium are elected from among the delegates of the Congress. The maximum number of members of the Presidium of the Belarusian People's Congress is 15.
In accordance with the law on the Belarusian People's Congress, members of the Presidium are elected by secret ballot. The time, place, and procedure for the secret ballot were explained by Inna Medvedeva, Chairperson of the Vote Counting Commission of the Belarusian People's Congress.
