Volodymyr Zelensky played Ukraine's president on TV. Now it's a reality.
Ukrainians threw their overwhelming support behind comedian, actor and businessman Volodymyr Zelensky in Sunday's presidential election, according to exit polls, choosing a political novice over five more years of Petro Poroshenko. The 41-year-old political newcomer won 73.2% of the vote while incumbent Poroshenko won 25.3%, according to an exit poll from Ukraine's state broadcaster Ukrinform. It was the second round of elections.
He also largely avoided having to express his views publicly, dodging big interviews, holding few press conferences and famously standing up Poroshenko at the first scheduled debate. Speaking on the 1+1 show,"The Right to Power" earlier this week, Zelensky said it was his campaign's strategy to not go on talk shows where"people from the old government sit and quarrel, do only PR and no real deals.
