`The higher citizens’ attendance will be, the better for our headquarters and our candidate’, said at the press conference Serhiy Tihipko, Head of V. Yanukovych’s headquarters.

`Judging from the news, coming from our headquarters, it is clear that the attendance will exceed 70%. Although it is already dark, there are a lot of people at the polling stations. I can comment this in the following way: it is very good. Because, according to our estimates, the higher the attendance will be, the better for our headquarters and our candidate’, said head of Yanukovych’s headquarters. ‘As for the violations that are registered, they are indeed numerous, hundreds of them, however, contrary to all attempts to raise tensions, it is already clear: the worst prognoses regarding the violations did not come true’, said Mr. Tihipko.
