Summary/Abstract: Political competition of local cells of political parties in the regional aspect in Ukraine on the example of Volyn region is considered. The current state of participation of political parties in local electoral processes is investigated. It is proved that in case of the absence of a sustainable social base the local organizations of political parties mostly do not represent interests of social groups. They are pragmatic projects of financial industrial groups, the growth in the number of which correlates with the beginning of the next electoral campaign. It is reasoned that the greatest opportunity to find the necessary resources for the election campaign, and therefore to be represented in local government have parliamentary parties which are in power at the national level.
