| Ukraine's court rules polls invalid |
| 2004-12-04 |
| Ukraine's Supreme Court ruled on Friday that a disputed presidential election won by the country's prime minister was invalid. Chairman Anatoly Yarema, delivering the court's ruling after five days of deliberations, said a "repeat vote" was required. He said this ballot should take place three weeks counting from December 5 - meaning December 26 - suggesting it would be a re-run of last month's run-off vote which opposition candidate Viktor Yushchenko alleged was rigged by authorities. |
