Yanukovich's Regions Party earlier pushed through parliament an amendment to electoral rules that will scrap the requirement for a quorum of representatives of both contenders to approve the count at individual polling stations.
The interlude before the second round of the presidential election has been more interesting than I expected. Regions has used its unofficial majority in the Rada to pass new amendments to the law on the presidential election. This comes after Regions dismissed Lutsenko, which led BYuT to re-appoint him acting interior minister. According to a BBC Ukraine article these amendments could apply to the second round of this presidential election. I suppose the Yushchenko-is-working-for-Yanukovych meme may be validated, if the president decides to sign the legislation.
