Ukraine: election, President's party leads
Supported by 52% but majority is unclear
18 July, 19:44
(ANSA-AP) - KIEV, JULY 18 - Ukrainian President Volodymyr
Zelenskiy's party has the most support in opinion polls ahead of
Sunday's snap parliamentary elections, but obtaining a solid
majority in the Verkhovna Rada is far from certain.
Zelenskiy, who took office in May, has been stymied by a
parliament dominated by his opponents. He ordered the elections
early to try to get a majority that would support his promised
fight against endemic corruption and for other reforms. His
"Servant of the People" is supported by 52 percent of Ukrainians
who intend to vote, according to a survey by the Kiev
International Institute of Sociology. But that edge doesn't
necessarily ensure a majority in the legislature, since only
just over half of the 424 seats are chosen by a national party
list.(ANSA-AP).
