You're reading: CEC: vote count continues in two constituencies week after Rada election

The vote count is continuing in constituency No. 197 (Kaniv, Cherkasy region) and No. 223 (Kyiv, Shevchenkivsky district) a week after the Ukrainian parliamentary elections, the Central Election Commission reported.

 As of 0900 of Monday, with 99.95% of the party list ballots counted,
the Regions Party of Ukraine took 30% of the vote, the Batkivschyna
United Opposition 25.53%, the UDAR Party 13.95%, the Communist Party of
Ukraine 13.18%, and the Svoboda All-Ukrainian Union 10.44%.

According to the CEC, 95.2% of party list ballots have been counted in constituency No. 197 and 92.07% in constituency No. 223.

Only one single-mandate constituency hasn’t reported the final
results of vote count. With 88.11% of the ballots counted in
single-mandate constituency No. 223 (Kyiv, Shevchenkivsky district),
self-nominee Viktor Pylypyshyn leads with 34,006 votes, or 27.58%), 26
votes ahead of his principal rival – a representative of the Svoboda
All-Ukrainian Union, Yuriy Levchenko, who took 23,980 votes, or 27.55%.

The CEC has already received original vote count protocols from 190
out of the total of 225 constituencies, although it sent some of them
back for clarification. The CEC members said that the inaccuracies in
these protocols are technical and are not related to the number of votes
cast for political parties or individual candidates.

The October 28, 2012, election was conducted under a mixed system,
with 225 MPs elected on party lists and 225 in single-seat
constituencies.

Under the law on parliamentary election in Ukraine, the Central
Election Commission should announce the official result of the
parliamentary election no later than November 12.
