Ukraine election: early results indicate big win for president's party

Volodymyr Zelenskiy expected to command outright majority with 42% of the vote

Ukraine's comedian-turned-president is on course for full domination of the country's political scene after early results from Sunday's parliamentary elections suggest his newly founded Servant of the People party will win a majority of seats.

Volodymyr Zelenskiy, a political neophyte whose only previous experience was playing the president in a television sitcom also called Servant of the People, won presidential elections in April and called for early parliamentary elections soon after his inauguration.
