At the end of 2009, the party chairman resigned, and Oleksandr Prognimak, a well-known Kyiv businessman and official, a former member of the Party of Regions faction in the Verkhovna Rada, was elected as a new leader. At the same time, the party changed its name to "Green" and officially moved from Kharkiv to Kyiv.
