Eastern Economist

LUHANSK - Presidential candidate and Parliament Chairman Oleksander Tkachenko said that the Kaniv Four election alliance of which he is a member along with Oleksander Moroz, Yevhen Marchuk and Volodymyr Oliinyk will meet on October 25 and conclusively name its single candidate and prove the seriousness of its intentions.

He also stressed that the political agreement concluded by the four to support Mr. Moroz had the aim, first and foremost, of protecting him after events in Kryvyi Rih, where an assassination attempt was made on October 2 against Progressive Socialist Party leader Natalia Vitrenko.

Mr. Tkachenko also said he believes that the story of the terrorist act against Ms. Vitrenko is being circulated in order to attract the voters' attention to her candidacy and to discredit the Kaniv Four.
