Funny man vs chocolate baron: Ukraine's presidential choice

In three weeks Ukrainians will face a choice between comedian Volodymyr Zelensky and incumbent Petro Poroshenko, who made his fortune in chocolate, for their next leader. Zelensky is the favourite going into the runoff, after exit polls showed him winning more than 30 percent of the vote in the first round, compared to Poroshenko's roughly 18 percent. Zelensky has already been elected president of Ukraine -- in the popular TV show "Servant of the People", the third series of which began airing this week.
