You're reading: Kozhemiakin: Three more BYuT members of parliament could join coalition

The first deputy leader of the Bloc of Yulia Tymoshenko (BYuT) faction, Andriy Kozhemiakin, has said that three more faction members could join the new coalition in parliament.

"[The entry of individual MPs in the coalition] can, unfortunately, be seen in our faction," he told reporters on Tuesday.

Asked how many BYuT MPs would join the coalition, Kozhemiakin said: "I think up to five."

He said that the figure included the two MPs who had already joined the coalition on Tuesday – Serhiy Vasylenko and Valentyn Zubov.

"Apart from these two, another three people are also planning to put their signatures [to the coalition agreement]," Kozhemiakin said.

He declined to name the MPs and added that he did not want to do so, as they could change their mind and refrain from joining the coalition.
