As President, Yulia Tymoshenko will create a stable coalition in parliament
06 January 2010
Deputy Head of the Verkhovna Rada Mykola Tomenko
believes that if Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko
wins the presidential elections she has a greater
chance of creating a stable coalition in parliament
and avoiding early elections to the Verkhovna Rada.
In his opinion, if Party of Regions leader Viktor Yanukovych loses the elections, the faction may actually break up - about 40 deputies will leave and create a new parliamentary group.

Mykola Tomenko believes that this reformatting of
forces in parliament will make it possible to avoid
early elections to the Verkhovna Rada.
The Vice Speaker also suggested that in the event Yulia Tymoshenko loses, 5 to 10 BYuT deputies will leave the faction. "But we will not have as radical a break up as the Party of Regions, because the Party of Regions has several decision-making centers, and we have only one center of decision-making," he explained.
He believes that the ten deputies that could leave BYuT won’t give Viktor Yanukovych the necessary resource in parliament to feel confident and not hold early elections to the Verkhovna Rada.
Mykola Tomenko has also stated that he is in favor of holding early parliamentary elections. "This parliament has exhausted its potential," he believes.
