KIEV, October 26 (RIA Novosti) - A coalition agreement will be offered to several parties that passed the vote threshold in Ukrainian parliamentary election, leader of Petro Poroshenko's bloc, Yuriy Lutsenko said Sunday.
"The coalition agreement will be offered literarily tomorrow," Lutsenko said.
According to Lutsenko, the Poroshenko's bloc could be joined by Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk's People's Front, Batkivshchyna (Fatherland) party led by former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko, and Samopomoshch (Selfhelp) party headed by mayor of Lviv Andriy Sadovy as they all seek European integration.
Lutsenko also suggested that local elections in Ukraine must be held "as early as in March 2015 to complete the 'power reset.
"It is absolutely necessary to finalize the reset of power and to create a clear vertical of reformist forces, especially in light of decentralization that we want to carry out prior [to elections," Lutsenko stressed.
President Petro Poroshenko dissolved the 450-seat Verkhovna Rada in August and ordered snap general elections to ensure a pro-Europe majority in the parliament while clearing out lawmakers loyal to ex-leader Viktor Yanukovych.
Only 423 deputies are expected to be elected, according to the Central Election Commission, which has ruled out any voting in 12 districts of Crimea as well as 15 districts in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
The electoral threshold has been set at five percent.
The elections were held against the background of a serious political and economic crisis in the country.
Despite the ceasefire agreement on September 5 between between government troops and independence supporters of the self-proclaimed Luhansk and Donetsk people’s republics, both sides have repeatedly accused each other of violating the truce.
