KIEV, Jan. 23 – Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, in a major difference with opposition leader Viktor Yanukovych, on Saturday ruled out any early parliamentary election after the February 7 presidential vote.

The early election would benefit Serhiy Tyhypko and Arseniy Yatseniuk, the No. 3 and the No. 4 presidential candidates, whose voters may decide the outcome of the runoff between Tymoshenko and Yanukovych.
