Yulia Tymoshenko, the losing candidate in Ukraine’s presidential run-off 10 February, has lodged a complaint with the country’s Higher Administrative Court claiming that she was robbed of victory by fraud in hundreds of polling stations. The court ordered the election commission to hold off on publishing official results. Tymoshenko has not conceded defeat and refuses to relinquish her post as prime minister in the outgoing government.
The court is not likely to overturn the result, which Viktor Yanukovich won by 3.5 percentage points. Yanukovich is scheduled to be invested 25 February. Tymoshenko may be attempting to negotiate her hold on the prime ministership, according to some commentators.
