Arahamia on elections after peace: simultaneous voting poses a risk of collapse.

According to ТСН: Proposals for holding all elections at once - parliamentary, presidential, and local - can be risky.

This opinion was expressed by the head of the parliamentary faction of the 'Servant of the People' party, Davyd Arahamia, during an event organized by the NV publication.

Political processes in the event of peace

Arahamia noted that if a 'conditional peace' is achieved, one should expect the start of political processes. A referendum and presidential elections are likely to come first. However, some ideas regarding simultaneous elections for all branches of power are, in his opinion, dangerous.

'There are several opinions: perhaps this is the combined elections for all branches of power, for example, the president, parliament, and local elections, which could lead to collapse, as organizing this is significantly more difficult,' he pointed out.

Challenges and scenarios

In the event of peace, Arahamia believes that the main challenge will be political changes and destabilization in society due to pre-election processes.

'And the country will probably disconnect from the military mindset. Although many people say that this mindset is already insufficient, we understand that politics will be in the foreground,' noted the head of the 'Servant of the People' faction.

The second likely scenario he named was the continuation of the war until the next window of opportunities for establishing peace, although the timing of the emergence of this window remains unknown.

'In this case, we will face the biggest challenges: firstly, what to do with the consciousness and mood in society, as not everyone is ready for a prolonged war. I believe this is the biggest challenge, and it will quickly reflect on politics, as politicians always react to what is happening in society,' emphasized Arahamia.

The worst-case scenario

The head of the faction also pointed out the possibility of the worst-case scenario, when deputies may leave parliament, 'as they no longer want to work further.'

'But they are irreplaceable, as we cannot hold elections. What to do about this?' the politician reflected.

Recall that earlier President Volodymyr Zelenskyy supported the idea of voting through the 'Diia' app in elections.

Arahamia's comments indicate the importance of a cautious approach to organizing elections during an unstable period. Political processes in times of peace or prolonged war may enter an active phase, requiring balanced decisions and consideration of societal sentiments. It is crucial for politicians to adequately respond to changes in society and ensure the stability of the country during this difficult time.
