The second Ukrainian parliamentary election after the collapse of the Soviet Union took place on 29 March 1998. In comparison to the first parliamentary election, this time half of 450 parliament seats were filled by single-seat majority winners in 225 electoral regions (constituencies), and the other half were split among political parties and blocks[1] that received at least 4% of the popular vote.
After the election votes in five electoral districts had too many irregularities to declare a winner and the parliament was five members short of 450. Eight parties were elected to parliament; the Communist Party received the most votes. Nine parties gained representation in parliament through winning at least a single constituency. Two more deputies chose not to be associated with parliamentary factions, while the members of other parties united into factions.
