The prime minister ended her legal challenge, after finally seeing the writing on the wall. The legal challenge was the last piece of political theater in the election. It was an action the prime minister had implied in her address last week that would not be successful. Today she confirms that the legal challenge had no chance of overturning the election.
“There is no sense” in continuing the hearing, Timoshenko said in the statement. “The court has refused to find out the truth and I wanted to stop this performance that has nothing in common with justice.” The Kiev-based court agreed to accept Timoshenko’s retraction and will not consider the case, said the court’s spokeswoman Maria Shvynko, adding that the court rejects Timoshenko’s accusation.Now Tymoshenko can turn her attention to salvaging her coalition, something that may also turn out to be futile.
