Kuchma will support Supreme Court directive
However, it is still unclear if he will sign into law the changes needed in the electoral law to ensure a fair and transparent vote as demanded by the opposition leader and candidate Viktor Yushchenko. He is also required to reform the 15-member Central Election Commission, most of whom were happy to declare the blatantly fraudulent election as fair. His spokesperson said yesterday he was willing to do so.
Moscow-backed President Kuchma has been trying to link these changes to others he wants to make that would transfer substantial powers away from the president and place them instead with the prime minister and parliament.
