KIEV, Ukraine, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- Ukrainian presidential candidate Yulia Tymoshenko says she will call supporters to the streets in protest if Sunday's presidential runoff appears fraudulent.
Polls suggested Prime Minister Tymoshenko was the underdog in the runoff against Viktor Yanukovich, a former prime minister with strong ties to Russia, CNN reported Sunday.
"If they succeed in perverting the election results through large-scale uncontrolled falsifications, then the legitimacy of that president will not be recognized by Ukraine or by the international community," Tymoshenko said, vowing street protests.
Yanukovich, who garnered 10 percentage points more than Tymoshenko in the first round of voting on Jan. 17, predicted Tymoshenko had no chance of winning Sunday.
"People are bored with her lies, hazardous policies and inability to rule the government effectively," said Yanukovich, who was declared the winner of the 2004 Ukrainian presidential elections. His win, however, was annulled after the pro-Western uprising, known as the Orange Revolution.
