Kyiv Mayor and UDAR party leader Vitali Klitschko has said his party will take part in the extraordinary parliamentary elections scheduled for July 21, 2019. He offered ex-Georgia President and ex-Odesa Regional State Administration head Mikheil Saakashvili to lead the party.
“I saw today the appeal of Mikheil Saakashvili, whose political force created obstacles for participation in the elections. Therefore, I am ready to lend political leverage. I am sure that our union will redouble its efforts for change in the country, and together we have a plan for changes and people who are able to implement it. I remain the leader of the UDAR party. I propose Saakashvili head the party,” he said in his video on Facebook on June 4 evening.
Klitschko said he supports the steps taken by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy aimed at effective reforming the state and bringing Ukraine closer to the EU and NATO.
