The Communist Party of Ukraine (renewed) (Ukrainian: Комуністична партія України (оновлена), romanized: Komunistychna Partiia Ukrainy (onovlena), KPU(o)) was a political party in Ukraine, formed in November 2000[1] following a split from the Communist Party of Ukraine (KPU). KPU(o) was led by Mykhaylo Savenko, previously a member of Parliament of the pro-president Kuchma[2] Labour Ukraine.[3] On 30 September 2015, the District Administrative Court in Kyiv banned the party.[4]

## History[edit]

The party was formed in November 2000[1] as a split from the Communist Party of Ukraine (KPU). The first party leader was Mykhaylo Savenko. Savenko had been a Member of Parliament supporting President Leonid Kuchma[5] in Labour Ukraine.[6]

The KPU claimed that the formation of the KPU(o) was instigated by the political establishment to take votes from the KPU.[7] In the 2002 Ukrainian parliamentary election, the party won 1.4% of the popular vote and no seats although only six other parties had spent more on their election campaign.[8] In the 2007 Ukrainian parliamentary election, the party garnered only 0.29% of the popular vote.[1] The party did not participate to the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election[9][10] and the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election.[10][11]

In May 2015, decommunization in Ukraine came into effect in Ukraine, banning communist symbols, singing the Soviet national anthem or "The Internationale".[12] Because of these laws, the Ukrainian Interior Ministry stripped the party of its right to participate in elections on 24 July 2015.[13] The party did not challenge this ban and was thus on 30 September 2015 terminated by the District Administrative Court in Kyiv.[4]
