Survey Suggests Trouble For Poroshenko in 2019 Presidential Elections

Four years ago, businessman Petro Poroshenko celebrated a sweeping presidential victory in the wake of a revolution that promised to set Ukraine on a new path to Europe. Today, a new study from the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology shows Poroshenko would struggle to get re-elected. Poroshenko’s popularity has been steadily falling amid sluggish economic reform efforts, failure to combat corruption, and the ongoing war in the Donbas. Instead, the study reveals former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Civil Position party’s Anatoliy Hrytsenko, and Radical Party’s Oleh Lyashko have become the frontrunners in the lead up to Ukraine’s 2019 presidential race. Hromadske spoke to Iryna Bekeshkina, head of the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation and Svitlana Khutka of the Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies at Stanford University about Poroshenko’s chances of re-election and Ukraine’s future leadership.
