The party of Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko was to file an official complaint today with a top Ukrainian court contesting the results of presidential elections won by Viktor Yanukovych, her top aide said.
"We are preparing a complaint with the supreme administrative court which will be filed tomorrow," said Olexander Turchynov, deputy prime minister and Tymoshenko's right-hand man.
He said Tymoshenko's election headquarters had video proof and eyewitness evidence that showed mass falsifications in favour of Yanukovych at the Feb. 7 polls.
A spokesman for Ukraine's supreme administrative court said the body had received a complaint from Tymoshenko's faction demanding that the results of the election be declared illegal.
But a legal official from the Bloc Yulia Tymoshenko, Sergiy Vlasenko, said that this had been made on the personal initiative of an MP and the complaint contained errors.
Yanukovych won by a slim margin of some 3.5 per cent or just under 890,000 votes, according to full results published on Sunday which formally declared him as the winner.
Tymoshenko on Saturday refused to recognize Yanukovych as president.
She also said that some observers from a trans-Atlantic security group had said they were prepared to declare in the courts that there had been "systematic fraud" in the election.
Other international observers had cleared the election of any sort of voting irregularities.
