The united opposition is planning to challenge the decisions of the Ukrainian courts on the election results in five disputed single-seat constituencies in the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), the head of the council of the Batkivschyna United Opposition, Arseniy Yatseniuk, has said.

“I understand well what the court’s judgment will be like… Everybody understands how this trial will end. We will go through all legal procedures in the Higher Administrative Court of Ukraine. The ECHR will make a decision on all of these five cases,” he told journalists in Kyiv on Friday during a break in the consideration of the case in constituency No. 132 in Kyiv Administrative Court of Appeals.

An Interfax-Ukraine reporter said that Batkivschyna had filed a lawsuit in Kyiv Administrative Court of Appeals against the Central Election Commission’s (CEC) decision to declare unlawful the impossibility of establishing the voting results in constituency No. 132.

Batkivschyna demanded that the CEC establish the voting results in the district based on the protocols of precinct election commissions. Yatseniuk noted that 33 vote count protocols received from precinct election commissions had been forged in the constituency.
