He's a founder of a "Servant of the People" party.
This party nominated him as a candidate for president, but, formally, he was nominated as a independent.
Information about his politicial party should be edited and, at least, say about his connection to this politicial party. Hea1en (talk) 09:30, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You might want to make a more specific suggestion (i.e. suggest new wording) and/or provide one or more reliable sources supporting what you're saying (whether sources already listed in the article, or different ones) ☺Coppertwig (talk) 21:58, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How about mentioning in the article that normally there would have been elections
by now and he's continuing as President due to martial law. [1]☺Coppertwig (talk) 22:58, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I support this edit by Helpful Cat; I agree that "imposition of martial law" is a more accurate explanation of why the elections were cancelled than "the ongoing Russian invasion", which could be seen as having begun years earlier after which elections were still held. ☺Coppertwig (talk) 16:59, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have to quibble with the wiki hive-mind on the matter of the appropriate transliteration into English of the surnames. Zelenskyy himself I guess we can reasonably transliterate his first name and surname in the Ukrainian style, given his being the president of Ukraine and I suppose Ukrainian being the (hoped for) dominant language. But his parents? They were Russian speakers. So that’s ’Zelensky’. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.243.239.188 (talk) 18:27, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why does the article say Zelenskyy is "independent" up near the top, but then further down says he is part of "Servant of the People" political party?
It is highly confusing to say the least. Wikipedia power-users can you please edit the article to explain this contradiction? Thank you.27.33.12.176 (talk) 13:23, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have wondered about this as well. The Ukrainian Wikipedia also calls him independent in their infobox. However, the Servant of the People party is clearly his. Is this some technicality? Helpful Cat (talk) 14:04, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
