KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine`s Central Electoral Commission said the Communist Party had won 25.83 percent of party list seats in Sunday`s parliamentary election after just over half the votes had been counted. Commission chief Mykhailo Ryabets said the Communists had won 25.83 percent of 225 seats under the party list vote. The parliament comprises 450 seats. The result bore out an exit poll of 10,000 voters on Sunday which gave the Communists the lead with 26 percent. But the success of candidates with no party affiliation who won 114 seats in the single member constituencies, means a red parliament is by no means certain. The nationalist Rukh Party came second in the party lists with 8.80 percent, the Socialist and Peasant Party Bloc won 7.93 percent, the Green Party 5.36 percent, the pro-government Peoples` Democratic Party 4.94 percent, the left-wing Progressive Socialist Party 4.63 percent, and the centrist Social Democratic Party (United) 4.40 percent. He said none of the other 23 parties and blocs had crossed the four percent barrier. Counting the complex ballots from the party lists had delayed results by a day. Newspapers were unanimous in describing the vote for the left as a vote against embattled President Kuchma.
