Moscow (dpa) – Former world heavyweight boxing champion Vitali
Klitschko announced on Thursday that he will run for re-election in
October as mayor of the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv.
“I‘m not scared of an election. I‘m going to take part in the
election for mayor,” Klitschko said in comments carried by news
agency Interfax-Ukraine.
Klitschko has served as mayor since June 2014, after being elected in
an extraordinary vote that took place because of the former mayor‘s
resignation.
“These things for which we have laid a foundation have only begun to
materialize over this short period of time. We need to materialize
them completely,” he told reporters, explaining that he was seeking
re-election to follow through on his plans over the past year.
Klitschko said that other members of his UDAR party – which
translates as “punch” – could participate in other local elections,
set for October 25.
