He said they will coordinate their actions to defend their votes and in the future parliament.
Tyahnybok said the parties agreed to coordinate actions in the parliament, what legislation to vote for “in order to change the rule of the game in this country, to change the system of power in the country, to remove the bandit regime and to prevent the return of this dictatorship.”
When asked whether Vitaly Klitschko’s UDAR party will agree his candidates on single mandate districts, Arseniy Yatseniuk, one of the the leaders of the united opposition, said that “those who wanted to unite managed to unite.”
“I seem to see that UDAR is playing its own game,” Tiahnybok added, pointing at the fact that Klitschko’s party will run for parliament separately both on party lists and on single-mandate constituencies.
The elections will take place on Oct. 28. Half of Ukraine’s 450-seat legislature will be elected through closed party lists and the other half will be elected on single mandate districts.
