In Ukraine, polling is underway to elect a new parliament.  <br />'' <br />'' Surveys suggest President Volodymyr Zelensky's 'Servant of the People' party is expected to win the largest share of the votes. <br />'' <br />'' Mr Zelensky is seeking a strong mandate for his party to have a shot at delivering on his promise of transforming the war-torn country by tackling pervasive corruption and implementing reforms. <br />'' <br />'' Without the support of the powerful parliament, he would not be able to pass any reforms or change the cabinet of ministers he inherited from former President Petro Poroshenko.<br />'' <br />'' Moscow-backed 'Opposition Platform For Life' party is predicted to come second, while the rebranded party of former President Petro Poroshenko, 'European Solidarity', is expected to drop to the third place. <br />'' <br />'' The vote was initially scheduled for October.
