[3] 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.
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[4] that received at least 4% of the popular vote.
[6] The size of the factions created in parliament after the election fluctuated.
[12][13][14] People's Movement of Ukraine split into 2 different factions in the spring of 1999 (the largest membership of the breakaway faction led by Hennadiy Udovenko was 19 and ended with 14, the "other" faction ended with 23; meaning that 10 elected People's Movement of Ukraine deputies did not represent any segment of the party anymore by June 2002).
[7][8] Other mayor "non-elected" factions/parties to emerge in parliament after the election were: Solidarity[15] (27 to 20 members[7]) and Labour Ukraine[16] (38 members in June 2002[7]); by June 2002 the parliament had 8 more factions then its original 8 in May 1998.
