Ramanchuk: Passing a no-confidence note is not a reason to leave UCP
The National Committee of the United Civic Party voted for passing a no-confidence note to the party's Vice-Chairman Jaraslau Ramanchuk by a single vote.
The UCP member Viktar Karnienka has told live on air on Euroradio that this decision was expected. Ramanchuk "has run dry" as a politician after his notorious statement on BT in the morning on December 20. It is clear now that Jaraslau, being a good expert and analyst, simply "walked in somebody else's shoes" when he agreed to run for President.
Passing a no-confidence note does not mean that Ramanchuk is expelled from the party automatically. However, Karnienka thinks that Jaraslau will take such a decision himself and discharge.
However, Ramanchuk is not going to do this. He has estimated the National Committee's voting as an "emotional" one and claimed he will continue his work in the UCP. He only admits he might leave the position of a Vice-Chairman after passing a no-confidence note.
