Results[edit]

At the 2006 Ukrainian parliamentary election, 26 March 2006, it won 1,87%[1] of the popular vote and no seats in the Ukrainian Parliament, although it did win seats in some Ukrainian provinces regional council elections.[2][3][4]

Aftermath[edit]

After the 2006 elections all parties have gone separate ways, with Ukrainian People's Party later joining Our Ukraine–People's Self-Defense Bloc for the 2007 election.[1][3]

Party of Free Peasants and Entrepreneurs of Ukraine renamed itself into Rural Revival Party, and founded Peasants' Bloc "Agrarian Ukraine" to run in the 2007 election, while the party's nominal leader within the bloc, Ivan Plyushch, joined and ran in the Our Ukraine–People's Self-Defense Bloc list.

Ukraine United would also found a separate bloc to run in 2007 election, which it has led, called Ukrainian People's Bloc, almost identically to the former.
