“We will think about dissolving Parliament,” he declared.
At the same time, Zelensky pointed out that the country’s laws set a timeframe for dissolving the Rada. “I’m afraid that I won’t have enough time. I won’t break the law, I won’t violate the law. If we manage to do it six months before the next election, when we have the right to dissolve the Rada, it will be beneficial for us (the Zelensky team).
However, Zelensky does not believe that current Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko will be able to form a large faction after the upcoming parliamentary elections and become the leader of the opposition.
The first round of the Ukrainian presidential election was held on March 31. Leader of the Servant of the People party, Vladimir Zelensky, led with 30.4% of the votes, followed by incumbent President Petro Poroshenko with 15.95%. Since no candidate won more than 50% of the votes, the two candidates with the highest number of votes will enter the second round scheduled for April 21./.
