KIEV, June 23 (RIA Novosti) - Ukraine will have a new government in ten days, the head of the presidential secretariat said Friday.

The Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc, Our Ukraine and the Socialist Party, three of the groups that swept President Viktor Yushchenko to power in the "orange revolution" of late 2004, formed a coalition majority in the country's parliament Thursday after months of political wrangling since elections in March. The coalition is entitled to appoint the prime minister and most Cabinet members to be approved by the president.

Oleh Rybachuk said the 450-seat Supreme Rada would elect the speaker and parliamentary committees next week and would need "another week to form a government."
