Parliamentary elections were held in South Ossetia on 31 May 2009. The result was a victory for the ruling Unity Party, which won seventeen of the 34 seats. Two opposition parties were not permitted to run out of concern that they might not be loyal to President Eduard Kokoity.^[1][2][3]

Under laws of Georgia, the elections were illegal.^[4]

The European Union,^[3][5][6] the United States,^[7] and NATO^[8] have issued statements saying these organisations consider the elections illegal, and have rejected their results.
