“We proposed to nominate Vitaly Klitschko who is politically midway between NUNS and BYUT and has the approval rating that can match Chernovetsky’s popularity.

Now, another candidate, BYUT’s Oleksandr Turchynov is likely to be fielded, with Pora following suit. If Turchynov, Klitschko, Omelchenko, Tomenko, Kutsenko and others join the race, what will happen? I think, it is the problem of political responsibility of parties.”

Kyiv city electoral commission has already registered 9 candidates for mayor – on the first day of its work on March 26, UNIAN reports. Several parties and organizations, URP, Svoboda, the Green party and Raiduha, are holding conventions and will nominate their candidates soon. Deadline for nominations expires on Apr. 15. The mayoral election is scheduled for May 25.
