Ukraine Elections | Ukrainian Presidential Election of 2010 - With more than 89 per cent of votes counted in the Ukraine presidential elections by the morning of February 8 2010, Viktor Yanukovych had a lead of about 2.76 per cent over his rival Yulia Tymoshenko, the Kyiv Post said.
Ukraine Elections - Yanukovych has claimed victory, but Tymoshenko is refusing to concede defeat.
Tymoshenko accused pro-Yanukovych forces of ballot-box stuffing in Russian-speaking eastern Ukraine, and her campaign said it will contest votes cast in about 1000 polling stations, the Voice of America said.
On February 7, Tymoshenko said she would await official results, with her camp saying that their own counts showed her as the winner.
Both sides have levelled allegations of election fraud against each other.
Turnout in the February 7 second route was estimated at more than 70 per cent, of the 36 million Ukrainians who were eligible to vote.
The winner will succeed president Viktor Yushchenko, who came to power in 2004 after the Orange Revolution, but who was defeated in the first round of voting in the 2010 presidential election.
