The 2006 Crimean parliamentary election was held on 26 March 2006. These were the first elections to the Verkhovna Rada of Crimea, which were conducted on the proportional election system. In order to gain representation in the Parliament of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the party or bloc had to get at least 3% of the vote.
On 28 May 2010 a majority coalition was formed between the Party of Regions, the Bloc of Vitrenko, the Soyuz Party, the Social Democratic Party of Ukraine (united), as well as members of the Block of Kunitsin and six independent deputies.[1] Coalition consists of 68 deputies.
Note: The Opposition Electoral bloc "NOT SO!" really represents the Social Democratic Party of Ukraine (united) at the Crimean peninsula. In 2010 the bloc was known as the Solidarity. The People's Movement of Ukraine "Rukh" in Crimea is known as the Kurultai-Rukh. The Kunitsyn's bloc in the council is represented by a deputy faction of "Krym".
By the summer of 2010 the council consisted of 16 members that quit their respective blocs and are considered as independent: For Yanukovych! - 12, BYuT - 3, Vitrenko - 1.
