Comedian leading in polls ahead of Ukraine election
By EUobserver
Ukrainian voters are so fed up with their incumbent president, Petro Poroshenko, that they might pick a comedian, Volodymyr Zelensky - who played a president on TV - as their new president in elections on Sunday. Poroshenko, and Yulia Tymoshenko, a former prime minister, are running neck-and-neck for second place. If no candidate gets a majority on Sunday, the two front-runners will face off on 21 April.
