The People's Front faction at a meeting on Monday will discuss the proposal of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc faction to nominate Ukrainian Parliamentary Speaker Volodymyr Groysman for the post of prime minister, Deputy Head of the People's Front faction Viktoria Siumar has said.

"We will discuss at a faction meeting on Monday both the candidacy for the premiership and the key positions of the coalition agreement and the government's action program," she told reporters before a meeting of heads of factions at the speaker's office on Thursday.

However, the condition for the People's Front backing Groysman will be granting it the right to decide on the candidacy for the new chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, Siumar said.

"We've got a proposal from the Petro Poroshenko Bloc that if the People's Front votes for Groysman as premier, the People's Front will decide on the candidacy of the speaker," she said.

When asked whom the People's Front may nominate for the speaker, Siumar said this may be current First Deputy Speaker Andriy Parubiy.
