Poroshenko: Consultations on new parliamentary coalition to start Monday
Consultations on a new coalition in Ukraine’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada will begin on Monday, President Petro Poroshenko said on Sunday after the parliamentary polls, TASS reported.
“Yes, I am glad that my political force is the leader, according to all exit polls,” he told the 112 Ukraina television channel. “But this is not as important as the fact that we will have a pro-European majority. I am sure the Verkhovna Rada will be changed and the number of committees will be dramatically cut.”
“Coalition consultations will be kicked off tomorrow not to waste time,” he said. “Ten days will be more than enough to finish consultations on both the prime minister, and the speaker, and the cabinet.” However he refused to elaborate on who would be the new prime minister.
