Yanukovych Promises to Fire Tymoshenko | News | The Moscow Times: “YENAKIYEVO, Ukraine — Ukrainian presidential candidate Viktor Yanukovych said Tuesday that his first priority if he wins Sunday’s election will be firing his opponent, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, and dismissing her government.
The bitter rivals have been increasingly firing broadsides at each other as the day approaches for the runoff vote that analysts say is too close to call.
‘The main issue before us is to get this government out of power,’ Yanukovych told supporters at a rally in his eastern hometown of Yenakiyevo.
Any attempt by Yanukovych to unseat his rival if he wins would be hindered by his party’s minority in the parliament, raising the likelihood of political stalemate in the months ahead.”
