For United Ukraine! (Template:Langx) was a political alliance and an electoral bloc in Ukraine founded in December 2001 to participate in the parliamentary election held on 31 March 2002.
History
In the parliamentary election, the party was supportive of authoritarian,[1][2] incumbent President Leonid Kuchma, and opposed to the pro-democratic Our Ukraine–People's Self-Defense Bloc.[3] It was described by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty as a "party of power", including oligarchs, bureaucrats, and pro-Kuchma politicians, as an attempt to further increase Kuchma's power through constitutional and extra-constitutional means.[4] At the election, the alliance won 11.77%[5] of the popular vote and a total of 102 out of 450 seats, placing it in third behind Our Ukraine and the Communist Party of Ukraine.[6] Final poll results had predicted 7-8% of the total votes.[7] The alliance received many of its votes from Donetsk Oblast.[8]
The alliance consisted of the 5 following members:[9][10]
- Party of Regions (Template:Langx),[11] led by Volodymyr Semynozhenko.
- Agrarian Party of Ukraine (Template:Langx), led by Governor of Lviv Oblast Mykhailo Hladiy.[9]
- Party of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Ukraine (Template:Langx, PPPU),[12] led by Anatoliy Kinakh.[9]
- People's Democratic Party (Template:Langx),[13] led by former Prime Minister Valeriy Pustovoitenko.[9]
- Labour Ukraine (Template:Langx),[14] led by Serhiy Tyhypko.[9]
