Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko, who roused vast crowds during protests against election fraud, said she believed she would be named prime minister once President-elect Viktor Yushchenko was inaugurated.

Tymoshenko, 44, a former deputy prime minister, is seen as one of several possible candidates for the post. Other front-runners are businessman Petro Poroshenko, a close aide of Yushchenko in the Our Ukraine party and head of parliament's budget committee; Socialist Party leader Oleksandr Moroz; and technocrat Anatoly Kinakh.
