Parliament's resolution non-binding: Kuchma
28/11/2004 22:27

Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma said here Sunday the resolution passed by the Parliament which declares Dec. 21 presidential run-off invalid is not legally binding, local media reported.

The invalidation declaration was passed on Saturday by 255 of the 429 legislators attending the special parliament session on the election dispute.

The congress also passed a non-trust resolution on the Ukraine Central Election Commission, which oversaw the presidential election and announced the Ukraine Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich won the election.

However, the congressmen failed to pass a decision to organize another round of election.

Opposition leader, former prime minister Viktor Yushchenko, has since last week repeatedly refused to accept his defeat, claiming he was cheated out of victory, and has been urging his supporters to take to the street.
