However, Klitschko didn’t give a direct answer to the question whether he would lead party’s election list.

“Let’s not speculate on whether I will be in the list or not… It’s not important. I have assumed the responsibility and I bear it not only in Kyiv. In the near future, I’m sure, you’ll see everything. I can’t fall out of the processes happening in the country today,” he said.
