Servant of the People

A liberal, centrist, pro-European political party in Ukraine. Since both the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election and the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election, it has been the ruling political party in Ukraine. It is best known for being the political party of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The party is named after the popular Ukrainian TV series Servant of the People, in which Zelenskyy played a fictional Ukrainian president. It was formed in late 2017 and was officially registered on 31 March 2018 on the basis of the previously registered Party of Decisive Changes. In the 2019 parliamentary election the party won 124 seats on the nationwide party list and 130 constituency seats.

Party of Decisive Changes, a centrist political party, was established in 2016 by lawyer Oleksandr Kachura, together with fellow lawyers and activists. The party organized regional branches but, according to Kachura, lacked the resources for a full political launch, leading to it being described as semi-dormant.

In 2017, the party offered itself to Volodymyr Zelenskyy's team for rebranding.
