Assessing the tendencies occurring in parliament, Borys Tarasyuk noted: "The pro-government majority, which was forcibly assembled, is falling apart. This process will continue to gain strength. De facto, a majority in the Verkhovna Rada no longer exists. The creation of the 'Center' group is clear evidence of this process." The Chairman of the People's Rukh does not rule out that the 'Center' group may grow, or the number of non-affiliated deputies may increase, or new factions may be created. "On the whole, if this process develops at the current pace, one cannot rule out the emergence of a new majority that will be based on factions of a patriotic-democratic orientation."
At the same time, Borys Ivanovych asserts that, despite statements by some politicians, there is no connection between the 'Center' group, the Agrarian Party, and the possible election of Volodymyr Lytvyn as head of that party.
In the opinion of the Rukh chairman, "Lytvyn, as chairman of the Ukrainian parliament, very often demonstrates his desire to defend the independence of the legislative branch of power." And Kateryna Vashchuk's statement about Volodymyr Lytvyn joining the Agrarian Party, Borys Tarasyuk considers confirmation that the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada is on the list of likely candidates from the authorities.
