This is stated in the publication “Ukrainian truth«.

It is noted that Zelensky’s party broke another record of Yanukovych’s party, bringing the largest number of majoritarians to the Rada. Previously, the best result belonged to the Party of Regions, which won 2012 majoritarian constituencies in 113.

Zelensky’s party takes the same votes that were given for him in the first round of the 2019 presidential election: 5,7 million people voted for Zelensky then, and 24 million voted for Servant of the People as of July 6,2.

Fewer voters voted for the parties “VO “Fakel” and “Independence”. Between them they took 0,1% of the votes.

The winner of the previous elections in terms of the party component, the Popular Front, could not live to see the next elections. The NF did not participate in the 2019 elections, saving space on the ballot.

However, 7 former members of the “front-line” faction entered the new parliament in constituencies or on the lists of other parties.

The greatest regression in terms of the list compared to 2014 from the current parliamentary parties, with the exception of the Popular Front, was demonstrated by:

• “Self-help”: it was 10,97%, and now it’s 0,7%;
• Bloc of Petro Poroshenko (now “EU”): it was 21,87%, but became 8,5%;
• “Radical Party”: was 7,44%, now - 3,8%.

And “Opposition Platform - For Life”, on the contrary, improved its 2014 figures: it was 9,43%, and now it is 13%.

“Batkivshchyna” of Yulia Tymoshenko also added: from 5,7% it grew to 8%.

Interesting facts about the new parliament

The first monobolshinstvo in the Ukrainian parliament

For the first time in the history of independent Ukraine, one party receives a majority in the Verkhovna Rada. As of now, Servant of the People has 254 people’s deputies in the Rada.

After the Communist Party of the USSR lost its monopoly position in politics, it was not possible to form a single party in the parliament.

The closest to the 226 votes required for a majority in the Rada was the Party of Regions, which in 2012 had a faction of 185 deputies.

Three quarters of deputies for the first time passed to the parliament

According to preliminary results, in the Rada of the 9th convocation three quarters of the deputies will be “newbies”. There are currently 323 candidates entering parliament who have not worked there before: 167 of them are elected from lists, 156 from majoritarian elections.

Most of the “predecessors” will probably be elected as self-nominated candidates - there are 35 of them among 49 candidates.

The new parliament will include lawyers, journalists, athletes and showmen.

After the presidential election, representatives of show business, culture and media began to massively move into politics. This year, humorist and TV presenter Sergey Pritula, as well as singer Ivo Bobul, tried their hand at elections.

Unfortunately, Prituly and Bobula will not be in the new parliament, but there will be many other stars, TV reporters, journalists and sportsmen in the Rada and without them.

Stars:

• Svyatoslav Vakarchuk - musician, leader of Okean Elzy
• Alexander Skichko - showman, TV presenter. Husband of Elizaveta Yurusheva, daughter of prominent businessman Leonid Yurushev
• Roman Grischuk - TV presenter, artistic director of the studio "Mamakhokhotala"
• Jean Belenyuk - world champion, Olympic silver medalist, Greco-Roman wrestler
• Nikolay Tishchenko - restaurateur, TV presenter of the program “The Inspector General”
• Olga Saladuha - track and field athlete, world champion, Olympic bronze medalist
• Artyom Dmitruk - Master of Sports of international class in powerlifting.
