As part of Our Ukraine Bloc The party is the continuation of the electoral alliance of the
Viktor Yushchenko Bloc known as "Our Ukraine". The NSNU was formally launched on March 5, 2005 by the group of politicians appointed by the incumbent
President Viktor Yushchenko, but it failed to attract most constituent parties that had been members of the previous bloc, which refused to be absorbed into the newly formed party. The constituent congress, held in the capital
Kyiv and attended by 6,000 delegates from all the
regions of Ukraine, elected Yushchenko as honorary chairman (who received membership card No.1). Former deputy
Prime Minister Roman Bezsmertnyi was elected head of the party's Presidium and
Yuriy Yekhanurov as head of the party's Central Executive Committee. During the
parliamentary elections on March 26, 2006, the party took part in the newly formed
Our Ukraine bloc. However, neither of the events happened. In October 2008, the presidium of People’s Union Our Ukraine party had already decided not to team up with any other party for the proposed
snap parliamentary poll then the
Our Ukraine–People's Self-Defense Bloc and had called the idea of teaming up with United Centre "impossible". The
Kyiv branch of the party decided not to take part in the party congress of June 2009 because they found the party "destructive". In October 2009, the party stated it intended to take part in the
October 2012 parliamentary elections. A March 2010 poll predicted that the party would get 1.4% of the vote in these elections (on 19 August 2009
Victor Yushchenko's support rating had already slumped to 3.8% and during the
2010 Ukrainian Presidential Election he won 5.5% of the votes).
Independently (since 2010) During the
2010 Ukrainian local elections the party (
political blocs were not permitted to compete in the election) met with total failure when it took only 2.3% of the national vote The party did quite well in the historical regions
Volhynia and
Galicia receiving minimal 5% of the votes up through 13.2%, but outside these regions it met with complete failure only managing to win 1.7% in
Poltava Oblast, 0.9% in
Zhytomyr Oblast and 0.7% in
Kyiv Oblast. A merging with other parties was discussed in September 2011 but was blocked by the party's council. In a December 2011, poll by
Rating the party scored 1%. Since then, the rating in various polls of the party stayed around 1%. The party announced that the
Ukrainian People's Party would be merged into the party in December 2011. Both parties were expected to be unified in February 2012. Nevertheless, they both teamed up with
Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists in the
2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election. In this election this combination won 1.11% of the national votes and no
constituencies and thus failed to win parliamentary representation. In this election Yushchenko headed the election list of Our Ukraine. The party itself had competed in 25 constituencies and lost in all. The Ukrainian People's Party merged with
People's Movement of Ukraine in May 2013.
March 2013 attempted dissolution and further history On 9 February 2013, the
Kyiv branch of the party, led by
Sergii Bondarchuk, On 2 March 2013, a party congress in Kyiv dissolved Our Ukraine. Bondarchuk tried unsuccessfully to remove the registration of Our Ukraine at the
Ministry of Justice; they did not accept his documents. The remains of Our Ukraine re-registered its party members. The party did not participate in the
2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election, it had intended to have a candidate in one single-seat constituency, but his registration was cancelled. In October 2017, the
Committee of Voters of Ukraine prepared an appeal to the
National Agency on Corruption Prevention with a request to check the activities of 21 parties including the
Movement of New Forces and Our Ukraine because of the presence of signs of shadow financing. The reason for initiating the verification of Our Ukraine was the lack of reporting on the Agency's website for the second quarter of 2017. Our Ukraine did not participate in the
2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election. Our Ukraine gained no seats in the
2020 Ukrainian local elections. ==Election results==
