History

edit

On August 6, 2015, the "United Power" party was established in Kyiv. In the same year, its leader Volodymyr Netrebenko ran for the party in the Kyiv City Council election, but did not pass the electoral threshold to become elected.[citation needed]

On April 23, 2020, the party changed its name to "Svitlychna Bloc — Together!".[3]

The party leader is ex-head of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration, People's Deputy of Ukraine of the 9th convocation Yulia Svitlychna.[4] Yulia Svitlychna describes her new party as an association of regional leaders of public opinion.[5]
