On 25 October 2020, Ukrainians go to the polls to elect their local authorities. These will be the first elections under the country’s new electoral code adopted in December 2019, making the results more consequential for voters. It will also serve as the first major electoral test for Zelenskyy and the Servant of the People party since his unprecedented victory last year. The ongoing decentralisation reform process has significantly strengthened the position of elected local officials. While supporters of reform see it as a step towards greater democracy, it also creates the potential for confrontation between the central government and the empowered municipal officials.
If support for Zelenskyy’s party shows signs of decline, local elites may be less inclined to align themselves with the President.
