Sichko excluded Boiko from the party. Split On November 16, 1991, took place the third report-electoral conference of the Lviv Oblast organization of UKhDP, at which Boiko has officially resigned. While visiting the conference, Sichko protested and pointed to the fact that Boiko was already excluded from the party. The conference without addressing the Sichko's protest continued on and elected its new governing body. The new chairman of the Lviv oblast organization was elected former political prisoner Mykhailo Viter. Another former political prisoner Ivan Hel spoke very critical about Sichko actions. He pointed to the fact that Sichko denied in membership such people like Stepan Khmara (later the leader of the Ukrainian Conservative Republican Party), Mykhailo Horyn and many others. Ivan Hel said that in July 1991 he received an invitation from the Secretary General of the Christian Democratic International, Andre Louis, where for the purpose of establish relationship he asked to have the delegation not to include mister Vasyl Sichka. Negatively to the family of Sichko referred also His Beatitude Myroslav Ivan Lubachivsky. Rejection of the 3rd report-electoral conference of the UKhDP Lviv regional organization by head of UKhDP Vasyl Sichko led to the split in the organization. On December 10, 1991, the UKhDP Ternopil regional organization conducted its general council which recognized the legitimacy of the Lviv regional organization and the election of Mykhailo Viter, the head of the UKhDP Lviv regional organization and it also approved that cooperation and inter-relationship will only occur with the UKhDP Lviv regional organization headed by Mykhailo Viter.
