2012 Ukrainian Parliamentary Election

28 October 2012 · Orange and blue · 450 seats, 226 for a majority

Parliamentary elections were held in Ukraine on 28 October 2012. Because of various reasons, including the "impossibility of announcing election results" various by-elections have taken place since.

Judged a step backwards by OSCE observers: the leading opposition figure, Yulia Tymoshenko, was in prison, and state resources and media tilted toward the ruling Party of Regions.
