Valentyn Nalyvaichenko has resigned from the chairmanship of the political council of the Our Ukraine Party and quit the party, his press service reported on Thursday.
"I am explaining my deed by the fact that Our Ukraine is delaying a decision on participation in the elections with the united opposition. Independent standing [for the elections] or forming of separate alliances at the elections contradict my political position, which I have been standing up for since the first day of my membership in Our Ukraine. Such approach goes contrary to the process of unification of the opposition, lets down longstanding hopes of Ukrainians, weakens the democratic movement and will inevitably result into defeat at the elections," Nalyvaichenko said.
"I will continue to work actively in the team of the united opposition," he added.
