“You cannot be the mayor and the leader of the party at the same time. It is very difficult. I saw it in these five years. My job is the mayor of Lviv. I think that such a normal democratic principle: if you did not lead the party to victory, then you should resign. The party must elect a new leader, ”he said in an interview with TSN.

According to the politician, he intends to remain a member of the party.

In March, Sadovyi submitted an application to the Central Election Commission of Ukraine about the withdrawal of his candidacy from the election of the country's president.
