Election in Ukraine - first round is undecided. There will be a second round

According to official results released on Monday, with 82 percent of the ballots counted, Viktor Yanukovich had 35.7 %, and Yulia Tymoshenko had 24.8 %.

The other candidates were far behind. Third place went to businessman Sergiy Tigipko with 13 % of the vote

The official turnout was 66.7 percent.

On Sunday night, both Yanukovich and Tymoshenko reached out to losing candidates for endorsements. A looming question is whether those more ideologically aligned with Yulia Tymoshenko will support her.

Despite warnings of large-scale election fraud in the days leading up to Sunday's vote, officials and election observers said the ballot seemed fair and orderly.
