A television comedian Volodymr Zelensky has won Ukraine's presidential runoff vote, defeating incumbent President Petro Poroshenko.
Zelensky scored a landslide winning 73-point-2 percent of votes compared to Poroshenko's 25-point-3 percent.
Shortly after the first exit poll, Poroshenko conceded defeat,... saying he would help the new president prepare for the role between the official announcement of the election results and his inauguration.
Delivering his victory speech, Zelensky promised not to "mess up" on the challenges he had been given,... but again, failed to offer clarity about the future direction of his presidency.
