The Peasant Party of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Селянська партія України, Selyans'ka Partiya Ukrayiny, SelPU) is an agrarian and socialist[1] political party in Ukraine. It was created in 1992[2] as a successor of the Communist Party of Ukraine that was temporarily outlawed in 1991.[3]
At the Ukrainian parliamentary election in 1994, the party obtained 2.74% of the votes and 19 out of 450 seats in the Verkhovna Rada. At the Ukrainian parliamentary election in 1998, it gained in coalition with the Socialist Party of Ukraine 8.56% of the vote and 35 seats.[4] The SelPU faction in the Verkhovna Rada consisted of 14 deputies.[5] After the creation of the new parliamentary faction Solidarity in 2000, a lot of deputies of the party moved to this new faction.[6]
The following elections were not successful for the party. In the elections of 2002 the party won 0.37% of the votes, in 2006 0.31% and in the 2007 elections the party did not participate.[2]
In the 2004 presidential elections, the party supported the candidature of Viktor Yanukovych.
