Groysman confirms People's Front can nominate Rada speaker if he heads government
The chairman of the Verkhovna Rada and a possible candidate for the post of the Ukrainian prime minister, Volodymyr Groysman, has confirmed that if he heads the government, the post of the parliament speaker will go to a candidate of the People's Front Party.
Answering a question of Interfax-Ukraine, if current first deputy speaker Andriy Parubiy becomes Rada chairman, a representative of which faction may take the post of the first deputy speaker, Groysman said: "If a new government is formed and there is consent of the coalition, a representative of the People's Front will be nominated for the post of speaker. Thus, the system of checks and balances in power will be maintained. Who will be the first deputy speaker? I think there may be a mirror image of the current situation in terms of political affiliation."
