Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has dissolved the country's parliament and declared that early parliamentary elections will be held on October 26. Political analyst Alexey Voronenko said that the process will only change the balance of power in the parliament. In his words, Poroshenko has taken the same path as his predecessors.
Voronenko mentioned Oles Dovgiy who was a candidate for mayor of Kiev and arrived in the Kirovograd Oblast for campaigning, where votes were cheaper. The analyst noted that the country should end the war before starting elections. The question is whether the Party of Regions and the communists would enter the parliament. The expert named Oksana Kaletnik as candidate with good chances of leading the leftists. Arseniy Yatsenyuk, in his words, has good chances of remaining prime minister.
The analyst said that Sergey Levochkin would have a good chance of becoming the PM if UDAR, the Radical Party of Oleh Lyashko, and Gritsenko's Civil Platform form get many votes.
