Ukraine's presidential elections: Klitschko to support candy tycoon


Petro Poroshenko, Roshen group owner, is the most popular presidential candidate, recent opinion polls say.

According to the Rating sociological group and The Razumkov centre’s estimations, 84 % of Ukrainians are going to cast their votes in the snap presidential elections on May, 25.

36.2% of those who have already decided are in favour of Mr Poroshenko while 12.9 % and 12 % are about to vote for Vitali Klitschko, a politician and a former professional boxer, and Yuliya Tsimoshenko, an ex-Prime Minister, respectively.
