Darth Vader is running for President of Ukraine, as the candidate for the Ukrainian Internet Party (UIP). The Sith Lord will apparently be up for election come May 25th.

It's not the first time Vader has entered Ukraine's political sphere.

As well as being seen in Kiev's Independence Square during the protests this winter - Vader also made a bid to become mayor of Odessa late last year, after being carried to the city hall by stormtroopers.

Meanwhile, further reports suggest that as well as his pledge to restore Ukraine to its former glories, his presidential demands also include a plot of land where he can park his spaceship.

    Given the corrupt and tyrannical nature of Ukraine's previous leadership, Darth Vader may be an improvement. Why worry about voting accidentally for an evil politician when you can vote for a Sith lord, a true evil. I'd like to see Darth Vader in a debate. Instead of calling an opponent a damned liar, he could just Force choke him to death or cut him in half with a swift light saber stroke.
