**A Ukrainian court has suspended the result of the recent presidential election, following a challenge by losing candidate Yulia Tymoshenko.**Mrs Tymoshenko, the Prime Minister, went to the supreme administrative court in person on Tuesday claiming the result was rigged.
The court says the result should be suspended while it considers the evidence she has submitted.
It also says the inauguration of winner Viktor Yanukovych should be delayed.
Ukraine’s parliament had agreed on Tuesday that Mr Yanukovych should be inaugurated on 25 February.
The new court ruling concerns the Ukrainian Central Electoral Commission’s declaration on Sunday that Mr Yanukovych had won the vote.
The results showed him to have beaten Mrs Tymoshenko by a margin of 3.48%.
Mrs Tymoshenko has so far rejected Mr Yanukovych’s appeals for her to accept defeat.
She has claimed that the election was marred by “systemic, fundamental and general falsifications”.
But international election monitors have said there were no significant flaws in the vote.
