Zelensky is looking for a solid mandate for his Servant of the People political party to have a shot at conveying on his pledges of transforming the war-torn nation by implementing reforms and handling inescapable corruption, according to Al-Jazeera news reports.

Originally, the vote was planned for October 27, but Zelensky dismissed the nation’s parliament in his inauguration discourse on May 20, further calling for a snap election as he didn’t have delegates in the assembly.

The latest opinion surveys published by the sociological gathering, Rating, on Thursday, forecast a 49.5-percent win for Zelensky party, with just four of its rival 21 parties making it past the five percent hindrance with minor help.

Opposition Platform – For Life, a Moscow-upheld opposition party with huge support among Ukrainian ethnic Russians, was anticipated to come next, yet with only 10.5 percent of votes.
