Local representation of the central goverment of Ukraine

The President of Ukraine appoints the Head of the City State Administration. The appointment is purely formal as the elected city Mayor is to be automatically appointed also the head of the administration according to the law. While other similar appointments of the local administration leaders Ukraine-wide are made by the agreement of the President and the Prime Minister. Currently, both positions are held by Leonid Chernovetskyi (elected in March of 2006.)
