Pro-Europe parties ahead in Ukraine election: exit poll
- 10 years ago
Exit polls in Ukraine's parliamentary election show pro-Europe parties securely in the lead.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko says the final result is expected in 10 days -- but that talks between the party leaders would begin immediately.
(SOUNDBITE) (Ukrainian) UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT, PETRO POROSHENKO, SAYING:
"I am sure that in order to not lose time, coalition consultations will start tomorrow. And I think leaders of all parties will be invited to join them."
Poroshenko says Sunday's vote shows that people back his plans to end a separatist conflict...
As well as to follow a pro-Western, democratic path.
But there was also a surprisingly strong performance by a group representing allies of ousted president Victor Yanukovich.
Sunday's parliamentary election was the first since his overthrow by street protests in February.
