Servant of the People

Servant of the People, in Ukrainian Sluha narodu and abbreviated SN, is a Ukrainian political party described as liberal, centrist and pro-European. It was formed in late 2017 as a rebrand of the earlier Party of Decisive Changes and was officially registered on 31 March 2018. The name comes from a television series in which Volodymyr Zelenskyy played a fictional president, and the party became the vehicle of his real presidential run. After the 2019 presidential and parliamentary elections it became the ruling party of Ukraine, winning 124 seats on the nationwide list and 130 constituency seats in 2019. In February 2022 it was granted affiliate status by the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party. Observers also describe its ideology as populist, and a 2019 statement by a Zelenskyy representative named libertarianism as its core ideology.
