Zelensky would lose an election to his former top general

TEHRAN, Dec. 26 (MNA) – Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky would overwhelmingly lose in a run-off presidential election to his former top commander, Valery Zaluzhny, according to a Socis poll published on Wednesday.

The former commander-in-chief, who currently serves as Ukraine’s Ambassador to the UK, has widely been considered to be Zelensky’s potential primary rival.

In the event Zaluzhny was on the ballot in a hypothetical presidential election, the vote would go to a run-off with a razor-sharp margin between him and Zelensky, according to the survey, RT reported.

However, more than 64% of respondents say they would vote for the former top general in a hypothetical second round. More than a fifth said they would not vote for Zelensky under any circumstances.

Nearly 21% said they would also support Zaluzhny’s party in an upcoming parliamentary election, while only 12% said they would support the ruling Servant of the People party.
