The Motherland Defenders Party (Ukrainian: Партія захисників Вітчизни) is a political party in Ukraine registered in July 1997.[1]
Election results[edit]
The party ran independent in the 1998 Ukrainian parliamentary elections in which it won 0.30% of the votes and no seats.[1] During his presidential bid in 1999, party leader Yuriy Karmazin complained about the "Jewish-controlled media".[2] The party did not participate in the 2002 parliamentary elections.[1]
At the 2006 parliamentary elections the party was part of the Yuriy Karmazin Bloc alliance[1] that won 0,65% of the popular vote and no seats.[3]
In the parliamentary elections on 30 September 2007, the party was part of the Our Ukraine–People's Self-Defense Bloc alliance, that won 72 out of 450 seats.[4]
In the 2010 local elections the party won 1 representative in the regional parliaments of the Lviv Oblast.[5]
In the October 2012 parliamentary elections party leader Yuriy Karmazin registration was refused by the Central Election Commission of Ukraine (it stated it had received two applications to be a candidate in two different single-mandate constituencies) and thus the party decided not to recognize the elections.[6][7][8]
The party did not participate in the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election.[9]
