To late Rivals: Viktor Yanukovich and Viktor Yushchenko Another Hurdle THREAT TO UKRAINE POLL A court ruling has thrown Sunday's presidential election re-run in Ukraine into some doubt. The country's constitutional court said it had decided recently adopted electoral rule changes were unconstitutional. The unexpected ruling appears to open the way for the result of the December 26 poll to be challenged. The court said changes limiting so-called home voting to the severely disabled amounted to a violation of voters' rights and must be annulled. "The changes are ruled unconstitutional and annulled from the day of the ruling," the presiding judge said in a statement. Security forces have vowed to maintain law and order as Ukrainians go to the polls, after warnings of clashes between rival supporters. Thousands of foreign observers are in the country to monitor the election, which pits the West-leaning Viktor Yushchenko against current prime minister Viktor Yanukovich. Both candidates have raised fears of an outbreak of violence between rival supporters. There have been reports that Cossacks and miners from eastern Ukraine are readying to disrupt the December 26 vote. But campaign officials for Mr Yanukovich, who draws most of his support from eastern Ukraine, have repeatedly denied the allegations. Mr Yanukovich claimed victory in the November 21 run-off but suspicions of vote-rigging brought tens of thousands of protesters into the streets of Kiev. The Supreme Court later annulled the results - citing fraud - and ordered a re-vote.
