Early parliamentary elections were held in Ukraine on 30 September 2007. The election date was determined following agreement between the President Viktor Yushchenko, the Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych and the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian Parliament) Oleksandr Moroz on 27 May 2007, in an attempt to resolve the political crisis in Ukraine triggered by the 2 April 2007 presidential decree on dissolution of Ukraine's parliament.^[2][3]

The 450 seats were divided among all parties that achieved a minimum 3% nationwide vote tally.^[4] The number of seats that are allocated to each party, above the 3% participation rate quota, is calculated using the Hamilton method of apportionment.^[5]

An alliance of two electoral blocs associated with the Orange Revolution, Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc (BYuT) and Our Ukraine-Peoples Self Defence (OU-PSD) obtained a narrow majority of seats,^[6] leaving their main rival, the Party of Regions (PoR) in opposition.
