Ukrainian Prime Minister and presidential candidate Yulia Tymoshenko has announced that the election of Viktor Yanukovych as president was illegitimate.

The second round of elections on February 7 gave Yanukovich 48.95% of the votes, where Tymoshenko garnered 45.47%.

"I want to announce clearly: Yanukovych is not our president, and no matter how things develop further, he will never become the legitimately elected president of Ukraine," Tymoshenko said on her personal website.

"There are possibly more than one million falsified votes, which would give us (Tymoshenko Bloc Party) the win."

Yanukovych received 12.5 million votes; whereas Tymoshenko received approximately 11.5 million.
