Parliamentary elections were held in Crimea on 29 March 1998.[1] The Communist Party of Ukraine emerged as the largest faction in the Supreme Council, with 38 of the 100 seats, although 47 seats were won by independents.[2] The election law has been changed and a majoritarian system has been introduced that does not ensure the proper representation of the minorities, especially that of the Crimean Tatars, in the Supreme Council.[3] Crimean Tatars are no longer represented in the Supreme Council.
