Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has said that now he does not intend to join the People's Front Party or the Bloc of Petro Poroshenko's Solidarity Party, but makes it clear that he does not exclude this ahead of the 2019 elections.

When asked by journalists at a congress of the People's Front Party in Kyiv on Saturday whether he considers joining this party, the prime minister said: "No. I don't belong to any party. I'm a coalition prime minister. I have no plans to decide on my party affiliation."

Groysman also said he did not plan to join the ranks of the Bloc of Petro Poroshenko's Solidarity Party on the lists of which he was elected an MP in 2014.

When asked whether his entry into the People's Front is possible before the next elections, Groysman said: "The next elections will be held in two years. Let's talk before the elections begin."

Presidential and parliamentary elections will be held in Ukraine in 2019.
