You're reading: Klitschko to decide on his participation in Kyiv mayor election in near term

Vitali Klitschko, the leader of the UDAR parliamentary faction, has promised to present his position towards the Kyiv mayor election and his participation in them in the near term.

“In the near period we’ll be able to make a proposal to opposition forces – our vision of the Kyiv mayor election,” he said on the Shuster Live program late on Friday.

Klitschko said that he was surprised by a statement of the united opposition on his alleged nomination as a candidate to the post of Kyiv Mayor at the future election.

“No consultations were made, I was put pinned down to the fact,” the politician said.

He does not rule out that this year the Kyiv mayor election would not be held, as representatives of authorities do not have enough support of Kyiv residents.

“There are talks than there will not be a Kyiv mayor election until 2015,” he said.
