The pressure is now on political newcomer Volodymyr Zelensky to deliver the change he has promised in Ukraine.
A comedian-turned-politician has won Ukraine's presidential election with a landslide victory. But the pressure is now on newcomer Volodymyr Zelensky to deliver the political change he has promised.
Like his TV character, Zelensky posited himself as an anti-corruption candidate fighting for change in a country dogged by graft, oligarchy and economic instability. We don't yet know who his ministers will be however and his critics noted that his policies were not adequately detailed. Suggesting a digital push, Zelensky's program states that he wants to see a Ukraine"where you can open an business in an hour, get a passport in 15 minutes, and vote in elections — in one second, on the Internet."
Last week, former Finance Minister Oleksandr Danyliuk said that if Zelensky won the election, his team will not include officials or ministers from Poroshenko's administration, signaling a clear break from the past.
