Ukrainian comedian Volodymyr Zelenskiy has won the second round of a presidential election against incumbent Petro Poroshenko by a landslide, a national exit poll showed on Sunday.
The poll said Zelenskiy had won 73% of the vote and that Poroshenko had won just 25% of the vote
A comedian with zero political experience was elected today as President of Ukraine in a massive landslide "as millions of voters weary of war and economic hardship rebuked the ruling elites." He ran on a "anti-establishment, antiwar and reformist message" https://t.co/t0lOGH59J6
