Two Days After the Election

Verhovna Rada’s special session closed today at 5 pm local time . Insufficient quorum didn’t allow the opposition to pass a vote of no confidence in the Central Election Committee (CEC) but the over 190 parlamentarians but applauded the symbolic oath ceremony of Viktor Yushchenko (BBC's I'm true Ukraine head - Yushchenko). Outside, a 300,000 people crowd gathered in his support. What will happen next?
The crowd is not ready to give up. They have the support of millions of people across Ukraine, the western world (BBC's In quotes: World concern at Ukraine election), and even the support of local administrations. Kyiv city council passed a vote of no confidence in the CEC. Lviv city council proclaimed Yushchenko for president (protest pictures by yklimenko.com) , as well as Ivano-Frankievsk, Vinnitsya councils (all in Western Ukraine).
