One of the most notable opposition figures, Vitaly Klitshcko pulled out of the race over the weekend, but Darth Vader, representing the Ukraine Internet Party (a very real party) is there to fill the void, and choke his opposition into submission using the Force to (Darth) Maul his opponents into submission. Or democracy, whichever one works. Either way, his (Death) star is on the rise, and we're expecting him to storm(trooper) up the polls.
Vader's party statment has a simple message: he is the only one that “can make an empire out of a republic, to restore former glory, to return lost territories and pride for this country”. Vader is no stranger to politics however, as he ran for a parliamentary seat in 2012 also, claiming a whopping 3% of the write-in votes according to Mashable.
However, this time around it looks like they've managed to raise the $225,000 (€163,000, give or take) fee to register Vader as an official candidate for the elections, so there will be more than a few voters voting for him to bring a New Hope to the country before too long.
