Yushchenko calls for fair election

Opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko kicked off campaigning for Ukraine’s December 26 presidential rerun with a call for speedy anti-fraud legislation, as supporters began signing up in droves to monitor balloting and ensure a fair vote.

“We are witnessing a struggle between forces of good and forces of evil,” Yushchenko told throngs of chanting supporters who gathered at Kiev’s main square last night, waving his campaign’s orange flags.
