A tally of 99.42 percent of the ballots cast in Ukraine's Oct. 26 parliamentary election gives 22.17 percent of the vote to the People's Front and 21.82 percent of the vote to President Petro Poroshenko's Bloc.
The Ukrainian Central Election Commission (CEC) said on its website that the Self-Help Party from western Ukraine is currently third with 10.99 percent of the vote, the Opposition Bloc has received 9.38 percent, the Radical Party 7.45 percent, and Yulia Tymoshenko’s Batkivschyna 5.68 percent of the vote.
The other political forces running in the elections have been unable to gain 5 percent of the vote needed to win parliamentary seats. However, the far-right party Svoboda (Freedom) has come very close to the electoral threshold with 4.71 percent of the vote.
