As other candidates fumble to establish a footing, Yulia Tymoshenko is busy mobilizing resources for a third presidential run
Barely a year remains to the first round of the next presidential election, which means that the heated phase of the election campaign is getting underway in Ukraine. This time, the race should be especially rough. For the first time in Ukrainian history, at least five candidates have about equal chances of making it into the run-off. The last poll published by KIIS at the end of March showed a significant rise in the ratings of populist politicians. In first place, as in all recent polls, is Yulia Tymoshenko with 24.6%. Oleh Liashko is in second place with 15.5%, and third is Anatoliy Hrytsenko with 12.5%. Both of their ratings have risen lately. President Poroshenko is currently only fourth with 9.8%, and close behind him are two pro-Russian claimants, Yuriy Boyko at 9.8% and Vadym Rabinovych at 9.5%. While Tymoshenko’s lead keeps growing steadily, the differences between the other five are within the margin of error.
