Thank you for your engagement here!
It is in their constitution. That is how my Ukrainian friends explained it to me.
Parliament extended martial law.
Poroshenko’s party overwhelmingly supported martial law .back in April and still do now.
He and all the leaders of his party said it was “both illegal and immoral to suspend martial law, while Russia, etc.”
I really do not know to what you are referring when you suggest Zelenskyy could hold elections. Even so Poroshenko still complains that Zelenskyy is “using martial law” to aggrandize more power for himself. Are you suggesting that Zelensky could suspend martial law and hold elections on his own authority? You must mean by resigning? Why even talk about such a thing as if it was even in the realm of remotest possibility?
If he had wheels he could be a bicycle.

No, I'm not suggesting that at all.
The martial law and general mobilization expires every 90 days.
The next extension of martial law and mobilization will expire November 5, 2025

Only during martial law, do the following prohibitions and restrictions apply in the country:

*movement (border crossing, document checks, curfew);
*the right to work and entrepreneurial activity;
*the right to secrecy of correspondence and phone conversations;
*the right to freedom of speech, the activity of the media, and political parties;
* holding elections and referendums

IOW, if Zelensky did not sign another extension, elections could be held, and all other restrictions would be null & void as well.
(I do agree that during the 90 days, he could not suspense the martial law)
