Unrealized mandate

In the 2019 early elections, she was number 19 on the "Holos" party list. After Svyatoslav Vakarchuk resigned his mandate in June 2020, she was next in line for a parliamentary seat but asked the Central Election Commission to postpone the formalization of her powers. In October 2020, the Commission recognized that she had not acquired the mandate — the seat went to Andriy Sharaskin. She never became a deputy.
