Mayor of Kiev (Ukrainian: Київський міський голова) is the mayor of the municipality of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. The current mayor is Leonid Chernovetsky, elected on March 26, 2006.
According to the Kiev City Electoral Commission, Chernovetsky won 31.83% of the popular vote, Vitali Klitschko placed second with 23.7%, and incumbent Oleksandr Omelchenko placed third with 21.2%.[1]
As of December 2006, the rating of Chernovetsky decreased to 8%[citation needed]. That is mostly due to his betrayal of those who elected him, most notably through his increasing of the price of household services (such as hot and cold running water and gas) by 340%. New elections for the mayor were called by the Ukrainian parliament, with the date scheduled for May 25, 2008.
