5 years since the inauguration: what President Zelensky promised and how he worked
For many, political success is a drudgery stretched for decades but Volodymyr Zelensky's had a fast track to the position of head of state. A few minutes before the New Year 2019, he announced his political ambitions on the air of the 1+1 channel, and less than 5 months later, on May 20, 2019, he was inaugurated as the President of Ukraine. Voters highly appreciated the large number of election promises of the former showman, and in the second round of elections, they gave him a record 73.22% of the vote. As the youngest guarantor of the Constitution in the history of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, together with the Servant of the People party, also managed to achieve another fantastic success – his political party gained 254 mandates in the parliamentary elections and formed a one-party coalition first time ever in Ukraine’s history.

Aivazovska: The efforts to undermine the right of citizens to monitor their own election processes are unacceptable
Impactful election observation helps prevent offenses. That is why the pressure that the Georgian authorities are currently exerting on national monitoring organizations is unacceptable. Olga Aivazovska, the Civil Network OPORA`s Chairperson, mentioned this during her speech at the Meeting of the Human Dimension Committee, which took place on May 14 in Vienna.

GNDEM Expresses its Solidarity with Citizen Observers Targeted by Russian-Style Foreign Influence Law
The Global Network of Domestic Election Monitors (GNDEM) expresses its deep concern with efforts to undermine the right of citizens to monitor their own election processes, both through the Georgian Parliament’s consideration of the Russian-style foreign influence law and the constant verbal attacks by government officials on citizen observers – from ISFED, GYLA and TI-Georgia – and the ongoing harassment of civic leaders more broadly. The draft law threatens citizens’ right to peacefully assemble and organize for the benefit of the Georgian people. GNDEM also expresses solidarity with Georgian citizens, civic activists and journalists in the face of government repression while exercising their right of peaceful protest. Its introduction in the midst of the 2024 election is designed to deny Georgian citizens their right to participate in their country’s political affairs by independently assessing the integrity of the process, rendering it less transparent and election stakeholders less accountable.

Ukrainian authorities’ legitimacy when elections are impossible
The new normal that Ukraine has been forced into after Russia's full-scale invasion on the 24th of February 2022 raises questions for the Ukrainian government, politicians, experts, and society about whether democratic elections are possible in Ukraine while the active phase of the war is ongoing. This also raises questions about the legitimacy of Ukrainian elected authorities when elections are not likely for years to come. Part I of the Ukraine Policy Alert “Ukrainian authorities’ legitimacy when elections are impossible” examines the limitations imposed by a full-scale war on the conduct of elections in Ukraine, as well as the legal legitimacy of representative bodies that cannot be re-elected. Part II attempts to answer the question of how to maintain a sufficient level of trust in the authorities in a situation where elections are impossible. Unlike legal legitimacy, political legitimacy is not determined by the Constitution, but by the ever-changing political reality. The latter remains the main problem for the Ukrainian authorities, growing with each passing year without elections.
