Kyiv then did not have an elected mayor until mayor Vitali Klitschko was sworn in on 5 June 2014.
Among his merits as the head of the Kyiv City State Administration, Popov listed the opening of five new metro stations, two museums and one library, the construction of road junctions, the launch of a city train, the repair of five schools and 30 kindergartens.
