Politics: Tymsoshenko wants early elections

Perhaps the prime minister realizes this is her best chance to snatch the presidency, her reputation hasn't been harmed (yet) by the economic problems in Ukraine. While she didn't want a early Rada elections and manged to stop the process (thanks to the economic crisis), she does want an early presidential election. An excerpt below from a RIA Novosti article on  possible early election. 
"Tymoshenko urges early presidential polls, to give Russia hugs"-
RIA Novosti, March 3
Yulia Tymoshenko gave an interview to Le Monde newspaper ahead of a meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy slated for Wednesday.

"Early elections are needed, the sooner the better. Transparent elections, without any rigging," she said adding that the elections, which she wants to be held earlier than scheduled, could lead to political stability.

The elections are due to be held in January 2010.

When asked what could stop her from becoming president in the near future, she said laughing: "Nothing!"
