The ruling party, the People's Party, are said to have lost the elections partly due to the effect on the nation of the 11 March 2004 Madrid attacks. |

The second part of the election, the runoff between the two most popular candidates from the first round, was originally run on 21 Nov, but the result was later dismissed by the Ukrainian Supreme Court due to alegations of fraud on behalf of then-Prime Minister and victor of that election, Viktor Yanukovych. |
