Unity (Ukrainian: Єдність) is a political party in Ukraine created in 1999 as a protest. The party was led by the former mayor of Kiev Oleksandr Omelchenko but in early 2008, he temporally halted his party membership in favor of a membership of Our Ukraine-Peoples Self Defence.

  • Ukrainian parliamentary election, 2006

    During the 2006 parliamentary elections the party was part of an electoral alliance led by Yevhen Marchuk (Electoral Bloc "Yevhen Marchuk - "Unity") which didn't make it into parliament winning only 0,06% of the votes.

    The alliance consisted of:

  • Unity
  • Party of Freedom
  • Party "Solidarity of women of Ukraine"

    The party did not run during the 2007 elections but advised its voters to vote for Forward, Ukraine! or Peoples Self-defence.
