The Closest of Calls
Local Russian News In English
Last night?s exit polls told a consistent story ? Viktor Yanukovich seemed to have won a narrow but clear victory of between three and five percent of the vote. But as the actual votes were counted, the real gap turned out to be much smaller ? at the time of writing, Yanukovich has only a less than three percent lead. That is a narrow enough margin of error for Yulia Tymoshenko to challenge the results in court, but the public seems to not be in the mood for street protests in favor of either candidate.
