Ukrainian comedian Volodymyr Zelensky has won the second round of a presidential election against incumbent Petro Poroshenko by a landslide, a national exit poll showed on Sunday.

The poll said Zelensky had won 73% of the vote and that Poroshenko had won just 25% of the vote.

Ukrainians voted on Sunday in a presidential runoff as the nation’s incumbent leader struggled to fend off a strong challenge by the comedian, who denounced corruption and played the role of president in a TV sitcom.

Zelensky, who is of Jewish descent, has said that religion is a personal matter and plays no part in his campaign. If elected, he would become the country’s first Jewish president.
