Parliamentary elections in Ukraine: Less than 1 percent divides Timoshenko’s Bloc and Regions Party
By the time of 02:30 p.m. local time, the Ukrainian Central Election Commission continued counting ballots cast at the parliamentary elections held on Sunday. As a REGNUM correspondent informs, 71.25% of the protocols have been processed already.
Under most recent CEC reports, the Regions Party is still reducing its lagging behind Yulia Timoshenko’s Bloc, and the Socialist Party led by Alexander Moroz is failing to overcome the three-percent barrier. At present moment, 32.49% voted for Timoshenko’s bloc, 31.77% gave their votes to the Regions Party; 15.35% voted for the pro-presidential Our Ukraine-People’s Defense. Besides, the Communist Party receives 5.16%, Litvin’s Bloc 4.09%, the Socialist Party has 2.93% of the votes. The western part of Ukraine is still leading in ballots counting. The process is the slowest in southern Ukraine.
