History

On October 25, 2020, the 2020 Ukrainian local elections were held in Kherson. The results were as follows:

Party	Percentage of vote	Seats
We Have to Live Here!	23.1%	17 seats
Opposition Platform – For Life	14.5%	11 seats
Servant of the People	13.0%	10 seats
Volodymyr Saldo Bloc	11.8%	9 seats
European Solidarity	8.6%

In the election, the parties that were more pro-Russian and Euroskeptic, including Opposition Platform, Volodymyr Saldo Bloc, and Party of Shariy had a combined vote share just over 30%, and won 20 out of 54 seats.

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the council has not held meetings. Additionally, 19 of the 54 total representatives in the council have either resigned, or have their position terminated due to wartime collaboration. This includes Volodymyr Saldo, leader of the Volodymyr Saldo Bloc, who later became head of the Russian occupation of Kherson Oblast.
