Poroshenko Leads the Pack in Ukraine’s Presidential Elections
In the wake of Viktor Yanukovych's ouster, the Ukrainian Parliament ordered presidential and local elections to be held on 25 May 2014. That date is fast approaching; since the deadline to declare candidacy passed in early April, the ballot has been whittled down to 21 candidates. Notable among the group are candidates Petro Poroshenko, Yulia Tymoshenko, and Serhiy Tihipko, who lead the pack, respectively.
