Zaporizhzhia City Council
Government
The Zaporizhzhia City Council (and the city of Zaporizhzhia itself), is governed by a mayor, who is elected every four years in local Ukrainian elections. The last election took place in 2015, and saw the election of independent candidate Volodymyr Buriak as mayor.
The municipality's legislative branch is the city council, which consists of 90 locally-elected deputies.
