Zelensky's political experience had been limited to playing the president in a TV show but his long-shot bid won over voters frustrated with endemic corruption and a stalling economy. The entertainer was projected to garner 30.4 percent of the vote, handily beating Poroshenko on 17.8 percent, according to combined figures from three pollsters released when voting stations closed. Ex-prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko, who was herself a favourite to win when she launched her campaign at the start of the year, was knocked out with 14.2 percent, the figures showed.

The 41-year-old has yet to
