Ukraine Vote Declared Invalid |
2004-11-28 |
IMPASSE CONTINUES: Ukraine's parliament declared the country's disputed presidential election invalid Saturday amid international calls for a new vote. WHAT IT MEANS: Parliament's vote has no legal standing, but came as representatives of Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych and Viktor Yushchenko sought a solution in talks. The Supreme Court will begin considering the case Monday. OUTSIDE VIEW: The White House, which with the European Union rejected the election commission naming Yanukovych winner, said it was hopeful recent developments "can pave the way for a democratic process which reflects the will of the Ukrainian people." |
