Yanukovich Has Won

At 11:36 a.m. (Ukraine local time), the Central Election Committee (CEC) released the following information (Liga Online):
98.24% of bulletins are counted
49,58% voted for Yanukovich (current Vice President of Ukraine)
46,57% of voters chose Yushchenko (oposition leader of Nasha Ukraina / Our Ukraine)

Exit polls shown live on Maidan last night reported victory for Viktor Yushchenko.

The CEC results clearly show that Yanukovich has won the election. Thousands of people are protesting on Maidan Nezalejnosti (Independence Square) in Kyiv. There are multiple allegations of rigging the elections. After the blatantly dirty first round, one is expecting everything.
