Ukraine prime minister ousted in no-confidence vote
GUARDIAN Wed, 03 Mar 2010 13:18:59 GMT
• Yulia Tymoshenko's Orange coalition dissolves • Viktor Yanukovych likely to form new coalition The Ukrainian prime minister, Yulia Tymoshenko, was ousted in a parliamentary vote of no confidence today, sounding the death knell for the Orange coalition that emerged from the 2004 revolution. Tymoshenko, defeated in recent presidential elections by her Orange nemesis Viktor Yanukovych, was removed when deputies mustered 243 votes in favour of a no-confidence resolution in the 450-seat chamber. Yanukovych's Regions party will seek to form its own coalition within 30 days and a government within 60, or face a snap parliamentary election. The president's party is the biggest bloc in the chamber with 171 seats but is well short of the required 226 majority. Mykola Azarov, a former finance minister and a likely candidate for the prime minister's post, said: "The talks are not simple but I think they will be finalised in the coming days." Even if Yanukovych succeeds in stitching together a coalition, the fractious nature of Ukraine's parliament and the limited powers of the presidency mean the country, which is split between a Russia-leaning east and south and a western-friendly west and centre, could face further political instability at a time when the economy, which contracted by 15% last year, requires urgent attention. Despite losing the 7 February presidential election, Tymoshenko had resisted pressure to quit. But her majority has evaporated as smaller coalition allies switched their allegiance in recent weeks.
