As CEC Chairman Yaroslav Davydovych announced, Yurij Donchenko and Bronislav Raykovskyj signed the protocol with reservations (their reservations focused on the law on the peculiarities of application of the Law of Ukraine “On Presidential elections in Ukraine” in the course of re-run election on December 26, 2004, which, in their opinion, infringed on the electoral rights of the handicapped, and therefore, the protocol of the election results does not fully reflect the real expression of will of the people). He stated that the protocol was drafted on January 10, 2005, at 11 PM.
