Citing unidentified Kremlin sources, Interfax said about 590 legislators voted for Yeltsin's ouster, well short of the 689 i votes needed to remove him. < The news agency also said i about 400 lawmakers voted to 1 replace Congress speaker Ruslan Khasbulatov. At least 517 votes, : a simple majority of the 1,033- 1 member Congress, would have been needed to remove \ Khasbulatov. , Legislators were waiting in the j Grand Kremlin Palace for the ] official announcement of the results of their secret ballot. ! The vote followed Congress' ^ rejection of a compromise pro- 1 posed by Yeltsin and Khasbulatov in an effort to end a long power struggle between the parliament and president.
