Leader Ousted By Ukraine's 'Orange Revolution' Set To Return -- CNN

(CNN) -- In a remarkable comeback, former Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich seemed set Monday to become the president of Ukraine -- five years after he was ousted in a populist pro-Western uprising dubbed the "Orange Revolution."

With more than 98 percent of the ballots processed, Yanukovich had won 48.60 percent of the votes.

His rival, current Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, garnered 45.81 percent, according to the country's Central Election Commission.
