The far-left Communist Party of Ukraine almost tripled its numbers of voters but because of the mixed election system used in the election it only won five more seats compared with the previous election.

It complained of "a lack of a level playing field, caused primarily by the abuse of administrative resources, lack of transparency of campaign and party financing, and lack of balanced media coverage". This contrasted sharply with the international observers' conclusions on Ukraine's February 2010 presidential election, judged then to have been transparent, unbiased and an "impressive display" of democracy.Ukraine election 'reversed democracy', OSCE says, BBC News (29 October 2012) Ten thousand foreign observers where expected to observe the elections.

An impression that “antidemocratic power” clash with “democratic opposition” imposed by European and world society has a very relative nature that, as a rule, doesn’t distinct the real situation. In nowadays Ukrainian “peripheral capitalism” model such classes as “power” and “opposition” are conventionality. When the “Power Elite” is unconsolidated and disconnected and there is an open internal war between leading financial-industrial groups and corporations of Ukraine to get leverage of real state authority, all existing political parties only play the role of institutionalized political framework of realization of oligarchs’ economic interests.http://www.cis-emo.net/en/news/interim-report-cis-emo-election-monitoring-mission Interim report of the CIS-EMO Election Monitoring Mission www.cis-emo.net On 5 October 2012 the CIS-EMO report was presented at the annual meeting of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights.http://www.rbc.ua/rus/vyboru/show/doklad-cis-emo-vybory-v-ukraine-predstavlyayut-ne-stolknovenie-05102012095300 Доклад CIS-EMO: Выборы в Украине представляют не столкновение мировоззрений, а борьбу бизнес-элит Rbc.ua Shortly before the presentation of CIS-EMO interim report web-site of CIS-EMO had been subjected to a massive DDoS-attack.В преддверии оглашения доклада CIS-EMO по Украине сайт организации подвергся DDoS-атаке The report was published on the official website of the OSCE in English and Ukrainianhttp://www.osce.org/odihr/91152 Interim report of the CIS-EMO Election Monitoring Mission 2012-10-27 https://web.archive.org/web/20121105090837/http://www.osce.org/odihr/91152 2012-11-05 dead and also in Russian.http://www.osce.org/node/95091 Interim Report of the CIS-EMO Election Monitoring Mission - ОБСЕ Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe The ENEMO (European Network of Election Monitoring Organizations) mission for the 2012 parliamentary elections in Ukraine began its work on 23 July 2012 with the arrival of four Core Team members.
