Head of Staff of the presidential candidate Viktor Yanukovych Mykola Azarov informed yesterday, that is one of the contenders for the post of prime minister. Later, spokesman Azarova tried to issue this statement as a joke. Officially the Party of Regions to say that they will decide on the candidature of the Prime Minister only after the victory of Yanukovych in the election. Meanwhile, the chances of the position to remain and a businessman Sergei Tigipko, who said that his talks with the leader of PR has not yet been completed.

Yesterday, while in Dnepropetrovsk, the head of election headquarters of presidential candidate Viktor Yanukovych Mykola Azarov said that was one of the contenders for the post of prime minister if an election victory will gain Yanukovych. "Already the team is formed, which has a prime minister, first deputy prime minister and deputy prime minister for directions. The main thing is that it"s anti-crisis experts, capable of operating in today"s difficult environment," - Azarov said, adding that the Yanukovych team is still five or six professionals who are able to lead the government.

Mykola Azarov refused to name the names of candidates for leadership positions in the Cabinet for "ethical reasons", but noted that the post of minister of economy would recommend deputy OL Irina Akimova. As is known, in the shadow government of Viktor Yanukovych Akimova is precisely this position. The fact that the future composition of the Cabinet present teneviki should retain their posts, I am sure the head of the Shadow Foreign Minister Leonid Kozhara. "This is a common practice when the shadow Cabinet becomes official - said Kozhara .- It would be illogical that political power brings his people to positions in government come the other".

However, as the evening a spokesm1000an said Mykola Azarov Vitaliy Lukyanenko, the information that his chief claim to the post of prime minister, "does not correspond to reality. "Azarov jokingly asked reporters:" Do you think I can cope in the post of prime minister? "Journalists were told that to the right. Azarov said:" Well, then we will assume that you have nominated me for this position. "In fact, one should be geared Azarov to the statement that this issue will be considered at the meeting of the faction. While he has not been, "- said a spokeswoman.

However, the fact that Azarova candidate for prime minister has not yet formally considered, it was clear and without specifying its press secretary. At a time when Mr. Azarov gave a press conference in Dnipropetrovsk, in Kiev, the deputy head of PR Anna Herman told reporters: "Yanukovich has repeatedly declared that no candidate from the Party of Regions for the post of prime minister to be seen."

Another senior official PR on condition of anonymity, said: "Nikolai Azarov will not become prime minister, this will not happen ever." Note that previously the leader of the OS called among the candidates for Prime Minister"s closest associate deputy Rinat Akhmetov - MP Boris Kolesnikov. The latter tried to convince that this post does not interest him: "You know, as he said Rinat Akhmetov? While we (FC Shakhtar Donetsk, vice-president of which is Boris Kolesnikov) did not win the Champions League, no prime minister." As we know, this season, Shakhtar dropped out of league finals which take place in May this year, yet at the stage of qualification, and in the best case for the title of the strongest clubs in Europe "miners" will be able to compete in May 2011.

Meanwhile

chance of being at the head of the government saved from Sergei Tigipko. Anna Herman reported that the consultation Viktor Yanukovych with a businessman for support in the second round of presidential elections continues. "But the talks did not focus on future posts, but the overall strategy for change, reform and modernization of Ukraine", - she said. Information on the negotiations confirmed yesterday and he Tigipko. "We"re not finished with Yanukovych talks, and while such a proposal (to take post of prime minister after the victory of Viktor Yanukovych in the election) I have not received. Soon there will be a meeting, and we dot the i".
