KIEV, Ukraine — A Ukrainian court says it has suspended the results of this month's presidential election, pending review of an appeal filed by the declared loser.
Ukraine's Administrative Court said Wednesday's in a statement that it has suspended the Central Election Commission's ruling announcing that Viktor Yanukovych won the Feb. 7 election.
The results showed Yanukovych winning by just 3.5 percentage points.
The court is to rule on the appeal from Yanukovych's rival, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, by next Thursday, which parliament has set as inauguration day for the new president.
Tymoshenko has refused to concede and is now pressing to prove her claims of election fraud in court.
