On July 21, early parliamentary elections took place in Ukraine. Nearly 6,000 candidates were running for the Verkhovna Rada. Only 49.84% cast their ballots, which has become the lowest voter turnout over the entire history of parliamentary elections in Ukraine.
The 2019 Ukrainian presidential election was held on 31 March and 21 April in a two-round system. Zelensky, who had previously had no political experience, won a landslide victory, gaining over 70% of the vote.
‘President is a servant of the people,’ Zelensky, who plays the role of president in the eponymous TV series, repeatedly said in the course of his election campaign. His plans are serious: an uncompromising fight against corruption, numerous benefits for business and no privileges for the president, deputies and judges — their immunity will be lifted. The ideological basis of the program is democracy and the full accountability of the authorities.
