Coalition talks between the winners of the parliamentary elections in Ukraine have become more tense as the Central Election Commission announced the formal results. Late on Nov. 11, the CEC announced 421 people who have become members of the new parliament.

Although Yatsenyuk’s party won the most votes through the proportional system, Poroshenko’s Bloc will command the biggest number of deputies. They will have 82 and 132 lawmakers, respectively. The third biggest party, Samopomich (Self-help), will have 33 lawmakers.
Soit, si je compte bien une majorité absolue à 211 députés et un total Porochenko + Iatseniouk de 214.

President Poroshenko said he was prepared to see Yatsenyuk as prime minister again, but that’s where his offer ends. Negotiators say he wants to appoint much of the rest of the Cabinet, and Yatsenyuk, unsurprisingly, does not consider this offer very generous.
There is a danger that if the duo fail to agree on how the Cabinet jobs will be carved up, Poroshenko will attempt to form a coalition without Yatsenyuk.
