Parliamentary elections were held in Ukraine on 21 July 2019.[1] Originally scheduled to be held at the end of October, the elections were brought forward after newly inaugurated President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dissolved parliament on 21 May 2019, during his inauguration.[2] The elections resulted in an outright majority, a novelty in Ukraine, for Zelenskyy's Servant of the People party, which won 254 seats.[3]
About 80 percent of the elected candidates were new to parliament, while 83 deputies were re-elected from the previous parliament and 13 deputies from earlier convocations.[3] All deputies from Servant of the People were political newcomers.[3] 61 percent of the new MPs had never before been engaged in politics.[3]
The elections were suspended in 26 of the 225 constituencies due to the March 2014 annexation of Crimea by Russia and the ongoing occupation of parts of Donetsk Oblast and Luhansk Oblast by separatist forces of the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic (since April 2014).
