Ukrainian politician Sith Lord Darth Vader, who is running to become a member of parliament, is appealing to his voters in style – first getting a Ukrainian haircut and then picking an imperial tune on his bandura. (RT).

The voting is set to take place on October 26, and Vader is one of several colorful characters representing the Internet Party of Ukraine with an ambition to take seats in the new Rada.

A veteran of amusing if provocative political performances, the politician is featured in several ads apparently aimed at going viral among Ukrainians.

The most popular scored over 500,000 views on YouTube since its release Tuesday shows Vader removing his iconic helmet and mask – but not showing his face. Instead only the rear of his head is shown, withholding the Sith’s identity, but convenient to proudly demonstrate the traditional Ukrainian Cossack haircut, the Chupryna.
