Kyiv City Council ((ウクライナ語:Київська міська рада) - Kyivs'ka mis'ka rada), better known as Kyivrada ((ウクライナ語:Київрада)), is the city council of Kyiv municipality, the highest representative body of the city community. The members of city council are directly elected by Kyivans and the council is chaired by the Mayor of Kyiv (who is also directly elected in a separate election independent of the council election) or the City Council Secretary (elected among the council members). The deputies are elected for five-year terms.〔(Mahera: Elections in Kyiv may be held in May-June ), forUm (13 February 2013) (Yefremov: Kyiv mayoral election may be held before parliamentary elections ), Kyiv Post (27 February 2012)〕 The council meets in a 1950s City Council building constructed in neo-classical Stalinist architectural style on Khreschatyk, the city's main street.
