The Odesa city elections commission has declared incumbent Mayor Hennadiy Trukhanov the winner in the mayoral elections, even though Odesa regional administration chief Mikheil Saakashvili had suggested earlier that Trukhanov and his main rival should run in the second round.
The city elections commission head announced on Oct. 27 evening that Trukhanov had garnered nearly 139,000 votes, or 52.9 percent of all those who cast their ballots in the elections, so securing his victory in the first round.
Oleksandr Borovyk (Sasha Borovyk), an adviser to the Odesa regional administration head, came in second with 66,500 votes, or 25.7 percent of the vote. Former Odesa Mayor Eduard Hurvits came in third, having garnered 22,500 votes, or 8.5 percent of the vote.
H. Trukhanov était membre du Parti des Régions de Ianoukovytch.
