Yury Lutsenko: Yanukovych won thanks to PGO inaction and Yushchenko betrayal
The PGO did little to stop the flood of falsifications, Lutsenko says. The interior ministry received 1,057 complaints on vote-rigging in the first round and 785 in the runoff. As of today, merely 7 investigations have been opened by the PGO after the interior ministry submitted to it 381 cases about serious election fraud, Lutsenko stresses.
Due to the PGO inaction, courts rulings banning home-voting and inclusion of voters in rosters on the voting day were ignored. As a result, some 2 million Ukrainians voted at home in violation of the law, with 500,000 voters included in voters’ lists on the day of voting, the former minister revealed.
Moreover, the PGO, threatening sanctions against police officers, didn’t let the police prevent the law violations, notably, stop illegal bussing of voters to polling stations.
Another factor which helped Viktor Yanukovych to win the election is Yushchenko’s betrayal who “actually worked in the interests of Yanukovych,” Lutsenko said.

But how can Tymoshenko explaion away the Exit Polls? All of which confirmed a Yanukovych win.
At the same time, tell us that there weren't any complaints of violations from the Prime Minister's side, or is she so honest. Are you going to pursue those complaints as much as the other complaints against Yanukovich? Can't have it both ways, although we know the Prime Minister would.
