Ukraine's president declares support for pro-Western Orange coalition, its choice for PM
Oct 17 2007, 12:28
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) - Ukraine's President Viktor Yushchenko on Wednesday declared his support for a pro-Western Orange Revolution coalition in parliament and its choice for prime minister.
The statement was Yushchenko's firmest declaration of support for the two parties and meant that Orange Revolution heroine Yulia Tymoshenko was all but assured the prime minister's job.
Final official results from the Sept. 30 parliamentary elections released Monday confirmed that Yushchenko's and Tymoshenko's parties won a majority in parliament, giving them the right to form a Cabinet.
Together, the parties won 228 seats in the 450-member legislature, two clear of a majority. The rival party led by Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych won more votes than any other, but it was only enough for 175 seats.
In a statement posted on the presidential Web site, Yushchenko said his and Tymoshenko's forces had told him they were ready to forge a governing coalition. "I support that intention," he said, adding that he would back the alliance's choice for prime minister.
An informal agreement concluded by the two parties earlier this week stipulates that Tymoshenko's party would name the prime minister while Yushchenko's bloc would pick the parliament speaker.
A majority coalition can be officially formed once parliament convenes. The legislature has 30 days to start its first session after the announcement of final results Monday.
