Lytvyn thinks he won't become speaker of new Ukrainian parliament
Verkhovna Rada Chairman Volodymyr Lytvyn doubts that he will remain the chairman of the Ukrainian parliament of the new convocation.
"I think I won't," Lytvyn told journalists in Saint Petersburg on Friday, when asked whether he would chair the new parliament.
"Because there is the party that won and has 185 out of 445 seats. In addition, a number of deputies that ran for the parliament as self-nominated candidates have said they want to join this faction. Thus, it will have more than 200 MPs," Lytvyn said.
He added that the Ukrainian parliament of the new convocation would be very difficult.
"The center of political life will be concentrated in the Ukrainian parliament until 2015. It's important to do everything to prevent further stress in the country," he said.
