STORYLINE
President Viktor Yushchenko said on Wednesday that five parties have made it into parliament and called for the beginning of coalition talks, an announcement that appeared to reflect the nail-biting uncertainty of the outcome of Sunday's pivotal elections.
"Really, political stability can be achieved as a result only mutual political understanding of the three key political powers: "The Party of Regions", "Block of Yulia Tymoshenko" and "Our Ukraine",'' Yushchenko said.
''They should start political talks, which should include the forming of a majority in the Ukrainian parliament, deciding on the government of Ukraine, and cementing the relationship between those in power and the opposition,'' he added.
Yushchenko made the announcement as a near-final tally from the vote showed his party and that of his Orange Revolution ally, Yulia Tymoshenko, tantalisingly close to forming a majority in parliament.
Yushchenko's allies had said he would return Tymoshenko to her post as prime minister if they win a controlling majority.
But with his announcement, shown on national television, Yushchenko appeared to be acknowledging the possibility that he and Tymoshenko might not be able to form a majority coalition.
As of Wednesday afternoon, 99.51 percent of the vote had been tallied, giving the party of Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych 34.3 percent, followed by Tymoshenko's bloc with 30.76 percent.
The party loyal to Yushchenko trailed with 14.19 percent.
A victory for the Orange Revolution allies had been widely seen as assured, even as election officials were still counting ballots from some 200 precincts at an unusually slow pace that has raised suspicions of vote tampering.
Attention has been focused on the smaller Socialist Party, whose ability to reach the 3-percent threshold for entry into parliament has turned it into a linchpin for any new government.
Should the Socialists fail to get enough votes to enter parliament, the Orange forces would have at least 226 combined seats, enough to form a government.
By noon, the Socialists had 2.87 percent after sliding downward earlier in the morning.
Yushchenko said he instructed his party and those of Tymoshenko and Yanukovych, along with two other smaller parties, to go ahead with preliminary consultations regarding the formation of a majority in parliament and a Cabinet.
