President Yuschenko thinks Ukrainians will be ashamed for their choice at the presidential election, he has told after casting his own ballot

"I think Ukrainians will be ashamed for their choice, but this is democracy," he said. In his opinion, now Ukraine's number one task is holding fair and licit election to prove the world community that Ukraine is capable of a democratic demise. As Ukrainian News earlier reported, the Central Electoral Commission allowed for the presidential election runoff Viktor Yanukovych, the leader of the Party of Regions, and Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko as the two candidates who won most of others votes in the first round of the election on January 17. In the first round 35.32% of the electorate voted for Yanukovych and 25.05% for Tymoshenko with 100% of original protocols from precinct election commissions counted.
