12/14/2019 2019 Ukrainian presidential election - Wikipedia
should take place on 31 March 2019.[4][5] Election was not held due to the War in Donbass or
The Ukrainian parliament had to approve annexation by Russia
the date of the presidential election no later
than 100 days before the election day.[4] On President before election Elected President
26 November 2018 the parliament set the Petro Poroshenko Volodymyr Zelensky
presidential vote for 31 March 2019.[6][7] Petro Poroshenko Bloc Servant of the People
Analysis of candidates by the Ukrainian NGO "Chesno" found that Petro Poroshenko had the
largest election fund (415 million Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH), about $15.4 million), followed by
Yulia Tymoshenko with UAH 320 million and Volodymyr Zelensky with UAH 102.8 million and
Serhiy Taruta with UAH 98.4 million.[11] By comparison, in the 2010 Ukrainian presidential
election, then winner Viktor Yanukovych spent over $40 million and runner-up Yulia Tymoshenko
spent $36 million.[11]
A total of 2,369 international observers from 17 countries and 19 organizations were officially
registered to monitor the elections.[12][13] A record number of 139 non-governmental Ukrainian
organizations are registered as observers.[14]
Candidates
According to Ukrainian law, a presidential candidate must be a citizen of Ukraine who is at least 35
years old, can speak the (state) Ukrainian language and has lived in Ukraine for the last ten years
prior to election day.[4] Candidates were nominated by a political party, or by self-nomination.[4]
Candidates also had to submit a declaration of income for the year preceding the election year.[4]
This document was then scrutinized by the National Agency for Prevention of Corruption, which
subsequently published the results of the audit.[4] Nominations could be submitted from 31
December 2018 to 4 February 2019.[4] The end of the registration period was 9 February 2019.[4]
After a potential candidate provided the required documentation to the Central Election
Commission (CEC), this body had five days to register the candidate or to refuse to do so.[15]
Candidates were required to pay a nomination deposit of 2.5 million hryvnias (approx. 90,000 US
dollars); only the two candidates that progress to the second round of voting will get this deposit
returned (the other deposits will be transferred to the state budget).[4]
By the end of the registration period on 9 February 2019,[4] the Central Election Commission
(CEC) had registered 44 candidates for the elections.[16][17] This meant that the largest number of
candidates participated in the elections.[18] In total, 92 people submitted documents to the CEC to
participate in the elections.[16] Five candidates withdrew.[19][20][21] The CEC refused to register 47
people, most for their failure to pay the deposit.[22]
Candidates could withdraw their candidacy, but not later than 23 days before the election.[4] On 8
March, the CEC approved the final list of candidates.[23] There were a total of 39 candidates for the
first round of the election.[24][25][25]

Registration denied
The CEC rejected 47 applications (mostly for failure to pay the deposit of 2.5 mln hryvnias
(approx. 90,000 US dollars)) of potential candidates,[22] including:
Petro Symonenko: Leader of the Communist Party of Ukraine. His nomination was announced
at the party's congress on 1 December 2018.[110] Legally the Communist Party of Ukraine is
not banned, but the Ministry of Justice is allowed to prohibit it from participating in
elections.[111] The CEC refused to register him as a candidate on 2 February because the
statute, name, and symbolism of the Communist Party of Ukraine did not comply with 2015
decommunization laws.[22][112]
Nadiya Savchenko: People's Deputy of Ukraine and Hero of Ukraine.[113] Savchenko was
nominated by her party on 26 January 2019.[114] Her bid to become a candidate was rejected
by the CEC on 7 February because she failed to pay the deposit and her party didn't stamp the
document regarding her nomination.[115]
Declined candidates
Andriy Biletsky: People's Deputy of Ukraine and leader of political party National Corps;
nominated by his party on 20 November 2018.[116] Biletsky later said that he had no intention
of participating in the "farce" of a presidential election.[117]
Vadim Rabinovich: People's Deputy of Ukraine and businessman.[54] On 15 November 2018
Rabinovich announced he would not take part in the presidential election; but that he would
top his party's For Life list in the following 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary elections.[118]
Oleh Tyahnybok: Chairman of the party All-Ukrainian Union Svoboda. On 14 October 2018, he
announced that he would not be running for president and that the party had instead decided
to nominate Koshulynskyi as the candidate of Ukraine's nationalist political forces.[63]
Michel Tereshchenko: Tereshchenko stepped down as mayor of Hlukhiv on 1 October 2018 to
become a candidate.[119] Yet, during the November–30 December-day martial law in Ukraine
he resumed his position as mayor and on 3 January 2019 declared his support for candidate
Andriy Sadovyi during a congress of Sadovyi's party Self Reliance.[120]
Svyatoslav Vakarchuk, lead vocalist of the rock band Okean Elzy. At the end of January 2019,
Vakarchuk released a video in which he announced that he would not be running for
president.[121] Vakarchuk has said he does not back any of the candidates.[122][123] According
to a early March 2019 poll by sociological group "RATING" 64% of the electorate would have
liked to see Vakarchuk among the presidential candidates.[124] On 27 March 2019, Vakarchuk
posted a video on his Facebook page calling on Ukrainians to think seriously about voting, and
not to vote "for a laugh"; this was met with a response by the campaign team of presidential
candidate Volodymyr Zelensky, who Vakarchuk's comments appeared to be directed
towards.[125]
Mykhailo Dobkin: People's Deputy of Ukraine, former Kharkiv mayor and Governor of Kharkiv
Oblast.[126][127]

Reactions
Poroshenko is reported to have tweeted that "a new inexperienced Ukrainian president... could be
quickly returned to Russia's orbit of influence."[134] Some of Zelensky's critics[135] have expressed
concerns over his close ties with billionaire oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskyi, doubting whether Zelensky
will be able to stand up against the country's influential oligarchs and the Russian President
Vladimir Putin.[134]
Several European Union nations offered their congratulations and hopes of continued
partnerships in the future. British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said that Zelensky "will now
truly be the Servant of the People." Similar sentiments were expressed by Andrzej Duda, President
of Poland, Donald Tusk, the President of the European Council, and NATO Secretary General Jens
Stoltenberg.[136] Russia's deputy foreign minister, Grigory Karasin, stated that "The new
leadership now must understand and realise the hopes of its electors" in both domestic and foreign
policy.[134] Maria Zakharova, Russian Foreign Ministry's spokeswoman, said that she hopes
Zelensky's win would help Ukraine to unite as a nation not by force but on the basis of a new
common agenda.[137] Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated Zelensky and
thanked the Canadians among the observers overseeing the elections.[138] The President of the
United States, Donald Trump, called the president-elect to congratulate him and "the Ukrainian
people for a peaceful [and] democratic election."[139]
Jonah Fisher of BBC News described the preliminary result as a "massive protest vote" and "a
humiliation" for the incumbent president, but commented that it would be difficult for Zelensky to
put his "vague policies" into action.[134]
A joint letter of congratulations was issued by both Tusk and Jean Claude Juncker, the President
of the European Commission. The European Union (EU) leaders stated that they hoped Zelensky's
victory would speed up the implementation of the remaining parts of the EU-Ukraine Association
Agreement, including the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area.[140]
