BYuT expects to receive 226 mandates in new parliament

BYuT leader Yulia Tymoshenko expects that her political force will receive 226 mandates in the new Verkhovna Rada.

She claimed this to a press conference in Kyiv today, according to an UNIAN correspondent.

“I hope we will receive 226 votes. It will allow us not to look for compromises for a long times, and will give us a chance to be independent”, she said.

At the same time, she emphasized, this does not mean that she will refuse from forming a coalition with democratic forces in a newly-elected Verkhovna Rada.
