Leader of the Ukraine-Forward! Party Natalia Korolevska is planning to run for the presidency in 2015.

When asked at a press conference hosted by Interfax-Ukraine on
Tuesday whether she was planning to run for the presidency, Korolevska
said: “Yes, of course.”

As reported, the top five of the Ukraine-Forward! Party ticket
included the well-known footballer Andriy Shevchenko and actor Ostap
Stupka.

The Ukraine-Forward! Party failed to win any seats in the Verkhovna
Rada at the 2012 parliamentary elections. With 90% of vote counted, the
political force received 1.6% of the vote, falling far short of the 5%
threshold need to gain representation in parliament.
