RESTRICTION SUMMARY: AP CLIENTS ONLY
SHOTLIST:
ASSOCIATED PRESS - AP CLIENTS ONLY
Kiev, Ukraine - 22 July 2019
1. Various of the OSCE (Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe) news conference on Ukraine parliamentary election monitoring
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Ilkka Kanerva, OSCE Special Coordinator and leader of the short-term OSCE observation mission for Ukraine's parliamentary election:
"The campaign was marked by widespread vote-buying, misuse of incompetency, and the practice of exploiting all possible legislative loopholes to screen equal opportunities of the contestants."
3. Cutaway of news conference
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Ilkka Kanerva, OSCE Special Coordinator and leader of the short-term OSCE observation mission for Ukraine's parliamentary election:
"Voting was transparent and well-organised, with a high level of adherence to established procedures. Votes count was equally transparent, however, basic reconciliation procedures were often not followed and over one third of observation steps required for completing the protocol were not adhered to."
5. News conference in progress
6. Various of the interview with an analyst with Kiev-based think tank Democratic Initiatives
7. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Serhiy Shapovalov, political analyst with think tank, Democratic Initiatives:
"In reality we may be looking at a situation when for the first time in the history of independent Ukraine we will have one party in the Parliament which will be able to make all the decisions and will have the 226 votes to support all their legislative initiatives."
8. Cutaway of the interview
9. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Serhiy Shapovalov, political analyst with think tank, Democratic Initiatives:
"Speaking about the foreign policy vector - the situation is very unlikely to change there. We remember that when Volodymyr Zelenskiy was elected as a president there were doubts about his political views with part of the society presuming he could have been more pro-Russian than his predecessor. But his first foreign trips to NATO office and European counties showed that no changes will be made and that both his rhetoric and his actions were aimed at the course initiated by Petro Poroshenko (pro-European course)."
10. Cutaway of Shapovalov's hands
11. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Serhiy Shapovalov, political analyst with think tank, Democratic Initiatives::
(Speaking about a possible alliance with the pro-Russian party)
"It is great risk for President Zelenskiy, because Opposition Platform For Life is a leader of anti-rating, definitely in central and eastern regions because everybody understands the pro-Russian vector of this party and such a vector is unacceptable for a huge number of voters. So if the president's party goes for cooperation with them (pro-Russians) this will reflect negatively on the Servant of the People's supporters opinion. Thus this is a very risky affair."

STORYLINE:
The party of Ukraine's president was on track Monday to win an absolute majority in parliament, a first in the country's modern history that would hand President Volodymyr Zelenskiy a clear mandate for change.
Zelenskiy, a popular comedian and political novice who was elected in April, pushed for a snap election that was held Sunday.
He argued that the allies of former President Petro Poroshenko who dominated parliament were hampering his reform agenda.
With more than 70% of ballots counted Monday, his party, Servant of the People, had 42.7% of the vote.
In addition, results showed his allies winning in at least 125 of the 199 single-mandate constituencies, in which voters cast ballots for individuals, not parties.
The landslide win would give Zelenskiy the go-ahead to fight corruption, to try to bring peace to Ukraine's separatist-controlled east, and to fix the country's stagnant economy without needing to forge a coalition with other political players.
Lawmakers in the outgoing parliament earlier this year didn't let Zelenskiy appoint key Cabinet ministers or fire government officials tainted by corruption.
The new parliament should focus on legislation to fight corruption, cleanse the courts system and scrap the law that makes deputies immune from criminal prosecution, Servant of the People leader Dmytro Razumkov told reporters Monday.
Servant of the People was named after the television comedy in which Zelenskiy, 41, played a school teacher who unexpectedly becomes the Ukrainian president.
The next few months are likely to be crucial for him and the party, which will likely have a free hand to appoint top officials and to adopt legislation. On the other hand, Zelenskiy will have no political rivals strong enough on which to blame possible failures.
"We may be looking at a situation when for the first time in the history of independent Ukraine we will have one party in the Parliament which will be able to make all the decisions and will have the 226 votes to support all their legislative initiatives," said Serhiy Shapovalov, an analyst with Kiev-based think tank Democratic Initiatives.
Of the 424 seats in the Ukrainian parliament, 225 lawmakers are elected on party rolls and 199 in the single-mandate districts.
Four other parties were seen clearing the 5% threshold necessary to get party-list seats based on the preliminary vote count.
A party led by one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's closest associates, Ukrainian tycoon Viktor Medvedchuk, was in second place with 13% of the vote.
It was followed by the European Solidarity party of ex-president Poroshenko, whom Zelenskiy defeated in a landslide in the country's spring presidential election.
The election monitoring mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe said in its preliminary report Monday that "fundamental rights and freedoms were overall respected and the campaign was competitive."
However, the observers cited wide-spread vote-buying and abuse of power by incumbent lawmakers.
The OSCE lauded the vote as "an opportunity to consolidate reforms and changes in politics that Ukrainian voters are hoping for."
