Ukraine's pro-Moscow opposition leader Viktor Yanukovych appears to be heading for a narrow victory in the country's presidential election. But with more than 90% of the votes counted, PM Yulia Tymoshenko has closed the gap to 2.2% on her rival. Mr Yanukovych called on Mrs Tymoshenko to quit, but she refused and is expected to challenge the result. The results suggest a remarkable comeback after Mr Yanukovych was swept aside by the 2004 "Orange Revolution". Under the 59-year-old former mechanic, Ukraine's foreign policy is expected to become more pro-Russian. The BBC's Richard Galpin in Kiev says a Yanukovych win would be an extraordinary indictment of the pro-Western Orange Revolution leaders' failure to deliver on their promises, which has left people deeply disillusioned. Politics in Ukraine has now gone full circle, our correspondent adds. Mr Yanukovych was a presidential candidate in the last election in 2004, which was found to have been rigged in his favour. Mrs. Tymoshenko's impassioned leadership of the subsequent street protests that swept him from power - and thrust her to office, along with Viktor Yushchenko - made her an international celebrity. Incumbent President Viktor Yushchenko lost in the first round of the election last month. With more than 94% of votes counted, Ukraine's electoral commission put Mr Yanukovych ahead with some 48.3% of the vote, ahead of Mrs Tymoshenko at around 46.1%. If confirmed, it would be a narrower margin of victory than Mr Yanukovych had been hoping for. Mr Yanukovych has already congratulated his supporters and said he will deliver the change the country is yearning for. He reportedly said it was time for his rival to quit. "I think that Yulia Tymoshenko should prepare to resign. She understands that well," Interfax-Ukraine quoted him as saying in a television interview.
