Ukraine’s CEC will not be able to announce results of parliamentary elections

Okhendovsky said that it was problematic to announce election results, first of all, in two constituencies - in the town of Berdichev and in the town of Novomoskovsk

KIEV, November 9. /TASS/. Ukraine’s Central Election Commission (CEC) will not be able to announce results of parliamentary elections in all one-seat constituencies by November 10, the UNN news agency said on Sunday, citing head of the Central Election Commission Mikhail Okhendovsky.

“Today, we can say it for sure that tomorrow we will not be able to announce results in all one-seat constituencies,” he said.

Okhendovsky said that it was problematic to announce election results, first of all, in two constituencies - in the town of Berdichev (Zhutomir region) and in the town of Novomoskovsk (Dnepropetrovsk region), where courts had ruled to recount votes.

Although voting results are to be announced on November 10, the balance of forces in the new parliament is clear already now: the Pyotr Poroshenko Bloc is expected to have 132 seats, Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk’s People’s Front is to have 82 seats, the Samopomoshch (Self-assistance) party - 33 seats, the Opposition Bloc - 29 seats, Oleg Lyashko’s Radical Party 22 seats, and Yulia Tymoshenko’s Batkivshchina (Fatherland) - 19 seats.
