Ukrainian Loses Her Bid For PremierKIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Yulia V. Tymoshenko, a leader of Ukraine’s pro-democracy protests in 2004, on Tuesday fell one vote short of the parliamentary majority needed to become prime minister. Ms. Tymoshenko, a former prime minister and on-again-off- again ally of President Viktor A. Yushchenko, received 225 votes in each of two rounds of voting — one vote short of the absolute majority needed. She and her supporters immediately claimed that the machine tabulating the votes was rigged. The parties backing each of the leaders won a narrow majority in September’s national elections, and the two agreed to form a majority coalition on the understanding that Ms. Tymoshenko would be nominated as prime minister. “The voting was grossly and blatantly falsified,” she said. After the second disputed vote, members of the Party of Regions, which opposes Ms. Tymoshenko and has the largest contingent in Parliament, blocked the rostrum. Lawmakers then went into a recess. Ms. Tymoshenko enjoys intense loyalty from her backers, especially since the 2004 Orange Revolution protests. Opponents say they are uncomfortable with her ambition and fiery oratory. Ms. Tymoshenko and the president have often locked horns in the past. He dismissed her as prime minister in 2005, after only seven months.
