In the 2002 Ukrainian parliamentary election Danilov failed to get elected to parliament as a candidate of Yabluko (placed 36th on their election list).[1] In this election Yabluko won 1.2% of the popular vote and no seats.[2]

In 2007 Ukrainian parliamentary election Danilov was first elected into parliament on the party list of Bloc Yulia Tymoshenko.[3] In 2012 he was re-elected into parliament on the party list of Batkivshchyna (number 57 on this list).[4] In the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election Danilov was not re-elected into parliament; because he placed 21st on the electoral list of Batkivshchina and the party won 17 seats on the electoral list and 2 constituency seats.[5][6]

Premier League of Ukraine[edit]

Vitaliy Danilov was elected as a temporary acting president on May 27, 2008, when top 16 Ukrainian football clubs declared about Ukrainian Premier League launch.

On July 1, 2009, Danilov won the election and became the league president without 'temporary acting' prefix.

But in July 2009, five Premier League clubs: Arsenal (Kyiv), Dynamo (Kyiv), Dnipro (Dnepropetrovsk), Kryvbas (Kryvy Rig), and Metalist (Kharkov) declared that the elections of the League's president were illegal due to procedure infraction. The representatives of the above-mentioned clubs did not recognize Vitaliy Danilov as the president.

To resolve this conflict Vitaliy Danilov initiated in September 2009 re-election of the League's president and on December 1, 2009, won the election again[10] with 11 clubs voted for his candidature, 3 (Arsenal, Dynamo, Metalist) – against, 1 (Kryvbas) abstain, and 1 (FC Dnipro) – absent. This time most presidents of the Premier League of Ukraine acknowledged Vitaliy Danilov legality.
