Servant of the People

Servant of the People (Ukrainian: Слуга народу, romanized: Sluha narodu, Ukrainian pronunciation: [slʊˈɦɑ nɐˈrɔdʊ]; SN) is 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.
