If UGCC fails today to elect new head, he will be elected tomorrow by simple majority

The Synod of Bishops of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church for the election of the supreme archbishop continued its work yesterday at Patriarch Josyf Slipyj Retreat Center in Lviv-Briukhovychi.
 
Last Monday, the synod failed to elect the new head of the UGCC as, after four votings, no candidate received the necessary two thirds of the votes. The head of the Information Department of the UGCC, Fr. Ihor Yatsiv, reported to kommersant.ua that yesterday's voting was also unsuccessful. The second stage of the election has not brought two thirds of the votes to any candidate, he said.

Today, the third stage of the election will be held. If the synod fails to make its choice today, tomorrow the final voting will be held, the result of which is to be defined by ordinary majority of votes of the bishops. On that day, the synod will have to nominate the new head.
