UKRAINE'S jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko says she is launching a hunger strike to protest against violations in the weekend parliamentary election in which the ruling party has taken a decisive lead.
"I am announcing a hunger strike to protest election falsifications," Tymoshenko's lawyer, Sergiy Vlasenko, read from a statement written by the ex-prime minister and 2004 Orange Revolution leader.
President Viktor Yanukovych's ruling Regions Party had 34.2 per cent of the vote against 22.5 per cent for Tymoshenko's opposition party with 61 per cent of the precincts reporting.
The ruling party was also on course to win at least 114 seats out of the 225 that were determined on Sunday in first-past-the-post, single-mandate constituencies.
But the results for Tymoshenko's supporters in parliament showed the opposition alliance trailing the ruling party by just four or five percentage points.
Vlasenko was speaking outside the state hospital where Tymoshenko has been recovering from a bad back she developed shortly after being sentenced in October to a seven-year jail term for abuse of power while prime minister.
The lawyer said Tymoshenko has already informed the Ukrainian penitentiary systems about her action and had only been drinking water since Monday afternoon.
