Will Shadow Cabinet be Eclipsed?

This decision was made on the eve of Hromada's sixth congress slated for January 22 in Kyiv. Addressing the conference, Mr. Lazarenko appealed to the delegates to give the party leadership a mandate to negotiate with other opposition parties in order to identify a single presidential candidate. Now, according to Hromada's leader, there are four probable candidacies, but so far no concrete deal has been struck about supporting one of them. To strengthen cooperation, Mr. Lazarenko is thought to be preparing to file a proposal to disband the Hromada shadow cabinet, which has fulfilled its task, and to form a new opposition cabinet with Left-wing parties represented.
