By holdings both Rada and presidential elections together BYuT hopes to achieve what Yushchenko never could, have a majority in the Rada. BYuT also appears to have taken the crown away from Nasha Ukraina as the "people's choice"as reflected by Lutsenko's call. Will this lead to a majority after the election? Yushchenko may use administrative resources along with other tools to keep BYuT's numbers down, but how sucessful will he be?
BYuT interested in simultaneous elections
BBC Ukraine reports that BYuT is looking into the possibility of holding the presidential and Rada elections at the same time. People's Self-Defense faction leader Yuri Lutsenko has called on democratic forces to unite behind BYuT in the upcoming election. In a related note, Presidential Secretariat are saying that legal challenges to presidential decree No. 911 on holding dissolving the Rada and new elections are groundless.
