DescriptionUkraine’s Supreme Court ruled today that presidential election results can be published before it completes hearing an appeal by the losing candidate, paving the way for the inauguration of Western-leaning reformer Viktor Yushchenko.

The court, responding to a motion by Yushchenko’s camp, said the results of his victory over former Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych could be published tomorrow.

Publication of the results in the two official government newspapers is a precondition for the inauguration.

Yushchenko won a December 26 runoff election, a rerun of Nov. 21 balloting in which Kremlin favourite Yanukovych’s victory was annulled by the court because of massive fraud.
