(ANSA-AP) - MOSCOW, 16 MAG - Ukraine's parliament has voted
to swear the new president into office next week, opening the
possibility of a snap parliamentary election.
The Supreme Rada on Thursday voted overwhelmingly to set the
date for Volodymyr Zelenskiy's inauguration for May 20.
Zelenskiy, a popular comedian with no political experience,
has said that he will seek an election as the current parliament
in his opinion has lost people's trust. The inauguration next
Monday gives Zelenskiy a window of seven days to disband
parliament early. Otherwise, the parliament will complete its
term that runs out in November. Zelenskiy beat the incumbent
president at the runoff last month, winning 73 percent of the
vote. (ANSA-AP).
