Ukraine presidential election 'goes to second round'

No candidate has won an outright victory in Ukraine's first presidential election since the 2004 Orange Revolution, exit polls suggest.

The polls put opposition leader Viktor Yanukovych first and current PM Yulia Tymoshenko second.

The two politicians, who were on opposing sides six years ago, will face a run-off on 7 February if the results are confirmed.

Current President Viktor Yushchenko has been eliminated.

A total of 18 candidates took part.
