"Darth Vader" runs for mayor, but the force is weak in this one
Do you want Darth Vader as your mayor?
Kiev doesn't.
Instead, the Ukraine city voted former boxing champion Vitaly Klitschko into office.
Vader originally had bigger ambitions - presidency - but was thwarted by bureaucracy when the Central Electoral Commission rejected his application, reported ArsTechnica.
The Internet Party of Ukraine's official nominee decided to settle for mayor in Kiev instead, reported TechCrunch. Unfortunately, it was not to be.
The Sith Lord was even denied the chance to vote because his identity couldn't be verified, reported CNBC.
Darth Vader, duh.
Check out his hilarious campaign video.
