The Verkhovna Rada has decided to consider the appointment of the prime minister and other Cabinet members at a plenary meeting on Tuesday, December 18.
The decision was favored by 274 deputies while the votes of at least 226 were required for its approval.
Parliament Speaker Arsenii Yatseniuk said that the parliament conciliation council worked out the agenda for Tuesday.
«I think it would have been easier to pass a decision in the United Nations Organization, though there are more than 190 members there,» the speaker said.
He added that the conciliation council approved the agenda for December 18 in accordance with which the parliament will consider the appointment of the prime minister, the termination of powers of Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych and his government, the appointment of the new government and termination of powers of parliamentary deputies who will enter the Cabinet.
After that, the parliament will elect chairmen of parliamentary committees.
Yatseniuk said the Bloc of Lytvyn faction had insisted that the minutes of the conciliation council’s meeting include a statement saying that representatives of the bloc will take the posts of heads of the budget committee and the committee on human rights.
As Ukrainian News earlier reported, Rada voted down the candidacy of BYT faction leader Yulia Tymoshenko for premiership on December 11.
On December 12, President Viktor Yuschenko submitted her candidacy to the parliament again.
