Ukraine election headed into court

China Daily | Updated: 2010-02-20 07:46

KIEV: Several hundred supporters of Ukrainian President-elect Viktor Yanukovich gathered on Friday outside a Kiev high court where Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko's challenge to his election was set to be heard.

Yanukovich, 59, is due to be sworn into office on Feb. 25 after beating Tymoshenko by a narrow margin of 3.5 percentage points in a runoff vote earlier this month.

But the 49-year-old premier says she was robbed of victory by vote-rigging and is taking her case to Kiev's Higher Administrative Court.
