A comedian with no political experience has won the most votes in the first round of Ukraine's presidential elections, early results indicate.

With half the ballots counted, Volodymyr Zelenskiy - who plays the president on TV - got about 30%, with current leader Petro Poroshenko on 16%.

The two - who have expressed largely pro-EU opinions - are set to take part in a run-off election next month.

Former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko appears to have been eliminated.

"I'm very happy but this is not the final action," Mr Zelenskiy told the BBC's Jonah Fisher, minutes after exit polls were announced.

I'd love to see Jack Dee at a lectern after some important EU meeting Laugh. Or Lee Mac. As long as they have two ee's in their name we'll be fine.

Plenty of highly educated politicans with 'first class degrees' from top uni's who makes a mess of their own country, might as well give him a comedian a chance.

The problem there, is he would sell everything off of any worth in the Houses of Parliament for his own private pension

The members would be sitting on bare boards

Abbot and Costello would be an even better option, two for the price of one.

Tommy Cooper and Eddie the Eagles could also be in the shadow cabinet.

Frank Spencer for pm. Would be an improvement.

He even has a great political sounding motto: "Every day in every way, I'm getting better and better. Hmmmm!"
