A tally of 99.9% of the ballots cast in Ukraine's October 26 parliamentary election gives 22.14% of the vote to the People's Front and 21.82% of the vote to President Petro Poroshenko's Bloc.

The Ukrainian Central Election Commission (CEC) said on its website that the Samopomich Party is currently third with 10.79% of the vote, the Opposition Bloc has received 9.42%, the Radical Party 7.44%, and Yulia Tymoshenko's Batkivschyna 5.68% of the vote.

The other political forces running in the elections have been unable to gain 5% of the vote needed to win parliamentary seats. However, the Svoboda Party has come very close to the electoral threshold with 4.71% of the vote.
