Tymoshenko received 24.95% of the vote, according to preliminary figures released earlier today by the country\u2019s central election commission. The incumbent, Viktor Yushchenko, received less than 5% of the vote.<\/p>\n<p>Observers believe that Tymoshenko stands a fair chance of overcoming her current 10 point gap in the second round. <\/p>\n<p>Yesterday\u2019s poll signals a political comeback for Yanukovych, who had been the chosen successor to President Leonid Kuchma in 2004 when Yushchenko and Tymoshenko led the \u2018Orange Revolution\u2019 and overturned the results of a rigged election.<\/p>\n<p>The subsequent fallout between Yushchenko and Tymoshenko and their bitter recriminations have dominated Ukraine\u2019s politics since then and undermined many Ukrainians\u2019 belief in democracy. <\/p>\n<p>Both Yanukovych and Tymoshenko have vowed to advance Ukraine\u2019s ties with the European Union, and both have also said that they would seek to improve relations with Russia, which have been rocky since the Orange Revolution. <\/p>\n<p>The European Commission today called on the Ukrainian authorities to ensure that the run-off would be run equally well. \u201cThe European Union will continue to support Ukraine in its democratic development and looks forward to the further deepening of EU-Ukraine relations,\u201d the Commission said in a statement. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<footer class=\"content-credits\">\n<h6>Authors:<\/h6>\n<dl class=\"vcard\">\n<dt class=\"credits-author\"><span class=\"vcard\">Toby Vogel<\/span>&nbsp;<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/footer>\n<p>Click Here: <a href='https:\/\/www.nrlshops.com\/rugby-Jerseys' title='cheap nrl jerseys'>cheap nrl jerseys<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Election observers accept Ukrainian results International observers say \u201cmost\u201d international commitments were met in the first round of presidential election.
