Spravedlyvist Party backs Communist leader as single candidate from left political forces at president election.
Kyiv, October 10 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The Spravedlyvist (Justice) Party has backed Communist leader Petro Symonenko as a single candidate for the post of the Ukrainian president from left political forces.
The decision was made at the fourth congress of the Spravedlyvist Party held on October 10 in Kyiv. A total of 460 congress delegates supported the decision and one abstained from voting.
The congress also supported a decision to create an election bloc of left and central left political forces, which would include the Commuist Party of Ukraine, the Spravedlyvist Party, the Unions of Left Forces and Social and Democratic Party.
“I’m sure that the powerful formation of public opinion… would finish the election campaign with a victory of the central left political forces,” Symonenko said at the congress.
