On 21 May 2019 President Volodymyr Zelensky appointed Bohdan Head of the Presidential Administration[6] Within 4 days 25,000 Ukrainians signed an electronic petition for the dismissal of Bohdan from this post claiming he could not have been appointed because he falls under Lustration laws because of his work for the Azarov Government.[7] The head of the Public Council on lustration issues at the Justice Ministry, Tetyana Kozachenko, also claimed on 22 May 2019 that Zelenskiy's appointment of Bohdan violated the legislation on lustration.[8]
On 2 August 2019, Interfax-Ukraine reported that Bohdan had filed his resignation letter the previous day.[9] The same day, President Zelensky stated that he had not signed Bohdan's resignation letter and claimed that all "all the people who came with me" had signed resignation letters in advance so they could be removed from their post when "society or president feels that this or that person fails to cope with the goals set for Ukraine."[10]
