Ukraine's United Opposition revealed the list of its top 60 candidates who will take seats in parliament after the Oct. 28 election
Currently, 26 to 28 percent of Ukrainians are ready to cast their votes for the opposition, according to various polls. This number would translate into about 60 seats in the next parliament.
The list has few surprises. Headed by the jailed former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, it has another jailed former official in top 5 – ex-Interior Minister Yuriy Lutsenko. His wife Iryna Lutsenko is also on the list, under number 18.
On top of that, the list is heavy on parliament members of the current convocation, mostly from Tymoshenko’s own faction and Arseniy Yatseniuk’s Front Zmin. Yatseniuk himself features second on the list.
The list was voiced at the July 30 opposition congress in Kyiv by Oleksandr Turchynov, Tymoshenko’s loyal long-time ally, and recorded by Ukrayinska Pravda website.
Half of the parliament, which has 450 seats, will be elected through proportional representation, while the rest- through majority constituencies.
