Key Information
History
[edit]A Labour Ukraine faction was created after the 1998 parliamentary election[3] on April 20, 1999.[4] In September 2000 the Labour Ukraine faction in the Ukrainian Parliament numbered 45 MPs and was the second largest entity in the parliament.[5] Serhiy Tihipko was elected party leader in November 2000.[4] The party supported President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma during his presidency.[6]
At the legislative elections of 30 March 2002, the party was part of the For United Ukraine alliance.[7] winning 49 seats, their list of deputies included Viktor Pinchuk.[8] The party leader was Serhiy Tyhypko.[9] After the 2004 presidential election Tihipko stepped out of Ukrainian politics, resigning as Labour Ukraine leader on April 23, 2005,[10] before returning to it in the 2010 presidential election.[11]
In the 2006 elections, the party failed on its own to win parliamentary representation, winning only 0,09% of the votes.[1]
In the 2007 parliamentary elections the party did not participate.[1] In this election Labour Ukraine members, including party leader Valeriy Konovalyuk, decided to join the Party of Regions election list.[12] Again in the 2012 parliamentary elections the party was absent.[13]
In the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election members of the party took part in the elections on the party list of Opposition Bloc; Opposition Bloc won 29 seats.[14][15][16]
