As far as I remember all major powers held elections during both WW1 & WW2, they might have been rigged, but at least the chaos in the trenches felt they weren’t just cannon fodder.
If you just ignore any agendas around this and just take "We can't have elections because of the war we're in" at face value..
It still doesn't make sense. In the most extreme case, you would have elections and then if the person elected wasn't zelensky, then you'd just have a longer than normal transition period. His cabinet would simply stay on longer until the new person was brought up to speed. And maybe even keep zelensky around to advise.
Of course, the actually reasons this is happening is NOT what they say it is. All the actual reasons are due to corruption, and the need to keep money laundering active.
We had elections during the Civil War! And Lincoln prevailed.
If they can have a concert they can have elections.

Stalin always had elections and so did Mao. They also had their people counting the votes! Same as here in 2020 and 2022!
