The Dark Side was victorious in Ukraine — where a man going by the name of “Star Wars” villain Emperor Palpatine claimed a seat on Odessa’s city council.

Palpatine Dmitry, 25, won 54.4 percent of the votes in Sunday’s mayoral election in Odessa, according to a mayoral candidate’s Facebook Post.

“A cartoon comrade of Darth Vader – Palpatine – received 54.4 percent of votes in Poselok Kotovskogo [one of Odessa’s neighborhoods]. Palpatin Dmitry, born in 1990, who works as an emperor at ‘LLC Palpatine Finance Group’ makes it to the city council on the Trust Affairs party list,” a bemused Aleksandry Borovik wrote.

“This is beyond my understanding,” the pol added. “People, what’s wrong with you?”

In the “Star Wars” saga, Emperor Palpatine is known as Darth Vader’s mentor and is infamous for destroying the Jedi order.

Palpatine was among a slew “Star Wars” character running for office in Odessa — with Darth Vader, Yoda, Padme Amidala and Chewbacca all on the ballot representing the Internet Party.

Ukrainians cast their ballots in the country’s parliamentary elections on Oct. 25– after President Petro Poroshenko did away with the body in August.

On Sunday, a man dressed as Chewbacca went wild as cops tried to handcuff him for campaigning on Election Day, which is illegal in Ukraine.

The man, in full Wookie costume, was taken to court and fined about $6 for going rogue.

And last week, a Vladimir Lenin statue in Odessa was transformed into the Sith Lord with a Wi-Fi enabled helmet by an artist who wanted to show his support for the political party.
