Paragraph 41
 

41. While the grounds relied on by the Ukrainian authorities and judicial bodies for banning or upholding the ban of the political parties may also, by extension be applicable to individuals seeking electoral office with the same illegitimate aims, the law proposes to render ineligible to be elected all individuals who have militated in such political parties for the sole reason of having held elective functions as MPs, local council members or village, town or city mayors under the banner of that party.
