With 50.2 percent of ballots counted, Bloc of Yulia Timoshenko is the leader at elections to Ukrainian Supreme Rada, signaling the advantage of the Orange is material, RBC-Ukraine reported.
So far, the Bloc of Yulia Timoshenko leads with 33.31 percent of the votes, while the Regions Party has gathered 30.64 percent and pro-president’s Our Ukraine – People’s Self-Defense has been backed by 15.56 percent.
Apart from the three leaders, the Communist Party of Ukraine (5.08 percent), Litvin Bloc(4.17 percent), Socialist Party of Ukraine (3.19 percent) have cleared the 3-percent hurdle en route to Supreme Rada.
So, even if the Regions Party finally outpaces the Bloc of Yulia Timoshenko, it will yield to its coalition with Our Ukraine, i.e. exactly the Orange will set up a new cabinet in Ukraine.
