World | March 27, 2006, Monday // 00:00

The rival leaders of Ukraine's Orange Revolution are considering reuniting to try to keep out a pro-Russian party that seems to have polled most votes. Early results in the parliamentary poll suggest President Viktor Yushchenko's party was beaten into third place. Former pro-Russian Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych appears to have taken the largest vote share. With more than 35% of the vote counted, election commission officials put Yanukovych's party in the lead with 26.4%, closely followed by Tymoshenko's party with 23.9%. The president's party trails in third place with 16.6%.
