Self-Governance Union was an nationwide electoral committee founded on the behalf of the Freedom Union for the 2002 Polish local elections.
The committee was founded when the leadership of UW decided to start independently in the 2002 local elections. Its founding was consecutive to the dissolution of the "Electors' Commitee Democratic „Community 2002”" operated by the Freedom Union, Social Movement and Conservative People's Party. [1]
The Union started its candidates in most of the voivodeship sejmik races and in all voivodeships, gaining 2.29% of the vote, with only 3 of its candidates elected: Antoni Piechniczek in Silesia andEmilian Stańczyszyn and Artur Zieliński in Lower Silesia. The Union dissolved after the elections. Three more Freedom Union-affiliated members of voivodeship sejmiks were elected from the lists of SLD-UP, and one from the Małopolska Community.
