Ukraine Election: Comedian Zelensky 'wins Presidency By Landslide' by Josnac(m): 7:40pm On Apr 21, 2019
[b][/b]

Ukrainian comedian Volodymyr Zelensky has won a run-off election to become the country's next president by a landslide, exit polls suggest.

The polls give him more than 70% support. He dominated the first round of voting three weeks ago when 39 candidates were on the ticket.
Mr Zelensky challenged incumbent president Petro Poroshenko.

Mr Poroshenko has admitted defeat but told supporters gathered in Kiev that he will not leave politics.

"I will never let you down," Mr Zelensky told supporters on Sunday.
He added: "While I am not formally president yet, as a citizen of Ukraine I can tell all post-Soviet countries: 'Look at us! Everything is possible!'"

If polls are correct, he will be elected for a five-year term.
Ukraine's president holds significant powers over the security, defence and foreign policy of the country.

Mr Zelensky, 41, is best known for starring in a political satirical drama called Servant of the People in which his character accidentally becomes Ukrainian president.
He ran under a political party with the same name as his show.

With no previous political experience, his campaign focused on his difference to the other candidates rather than on any concrete policy ideas.

Despite this, he won the first round with more than 30% of the vote - almost double what Mr Poroshenko got when he finished in second place with 15.95%.

I strongly suspect Putin has a hand in this.

The KGB spy agent of a President is taking Out NATO leaders and Ally with political experience with first timer entertainer or showbiz personalty like trump and this guy

Firstly obama caught him colluding with inexperienced showbiz Trump to hack and manipulate US election, Now Ukraine that host NATO base close to russia is in the hands of inexperienced comedian of a President

Russia China and Some powerfull Arabian countries are slowly taking up world power slowly while the rest of the free world laugh on



Now only German Angela Merkel seems strongest and experienced on the side of NATO Secuirity team, Trump, Macron, and this guy are new to the game

On the other side we have Commuinist and Arabian Muslims. With Putin of Russia, Jinping of China, Saudi king, Qatar King and Other GCC kings on the other side with long years of experience on international politics

I moved to Benin with my family a month back and I noticed the sheer arrogance exuded by the Benin Electricity Company.


Can you guys believe that these nuisances give only 3 hrs power daily yet their estimated bill is 6,000 naira monthly.


2 hrs from the hours of 8 to 10 pm (that is if you see power at all)
And from 4:30am to 5:30am.




It used to be 9 hrs daily and no one complained. They then reduced it to 6.

Now it's down to 3.


I wonder what the administration is doing about these thieves rapping her citizens in broad daylight?



PLEASE POST TO FP so that the whole world can see the enormous corruption going down here in Benin City, EDO state. NIGERIA.
