Ukrainians are preparing to go to the polls, a year after the so-called "Orange Revolution" brought President Viktor Yushchenko to power.

But the popularity of Mr Yushchenko has fallen and analysts suggest his party may be beaten into second place.

Reform has been slow, the economy has slumped and the orange team has been split by a power struggle.

The elections are expected to be one of the most democratic ever held in the former Soviet republic.

Forty-five parties will be taking part and almost 2,000 international observers will be monitoring the election.

"This is the first election after the dust settled, so to speak, after the Orange Revolution. And it is really important to see how far the country has come in this time, looking at this election both politically and in terms of how it is organised," said Urdur Gunnarsdottir of the OSCE.
