According to the results from local elections, Ms. Yulia Tymoshenko and incumbent President Petro Poroshenko will go to the second round of presidential elections.
"The local elections showed that the Batkivsina party's candidates received 34% of the votes, while President Petro Poroshenko's bloc received only 23%. The voters' choice has shown that the second round of elections will be a clash between our party and Poroshenko's. That is why I can be sure that our opponents have no chance in the second round," Yulia Tymoshenko affirmed.
According to sociological research data of the Ukrainian Institute of Analysis and Programming, as of now, the leader of the Batkivsina party, Ms. Yulia Tymoshenko has the highest election rate, 19.3% of voters intend to participate and are ready to vote for her.
Yulia Tymoshenko is the leading candidate in the presidential election in Ukraine on March 31. The presidential campaign in Ukraine has started and will last for 3 months, before the official election takes place.
Observers say the election campaign will be intense and tense due to the country's economic, social and political situation. Many fear that violence may break out.
