In Ukraine, comedian Volodymyr Zelensky has received the most votes in the first round of a presidential election, garnering more support than incumbent Petro Poroshenko and former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. On his television show, the comedic actor plays an ordinary citizen who becomes president by chance and fights against corruption. He has no prior political experience but has expressed pro-EU views. Zelensky will face the second vote-getter, currently believed to be Poroshenko, according to exit polls.
