“I think a lot depends on the rules for the election campaign. If everything is according to old laws, then Saakashvili’s party has practically no chances. If the elections will be held on a three-percent model, proposed by Zelensky or something else, then chances can arise, ”the deputy believes.

Kalashnikov also noted that one should not expect "the coalition of the Zelensky party and Saakashvili, because they never knew each other and did not work together."

Earlier, Saakashvili’s Movement of New Forces party announced its intention to take part in the early parliamentary elections in Ukraine, which are scheduled for July 21.
