Political career

In the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Strikharskyi ran as the candidate of Servant of the People for People's Deputy of Ukraine in Ukraine's 196th electoral district. At the time of the election, he was an independent.[1] He was elected, defeating incumbent People's Deputy Hennadiy Bobov with 38.89% of the vote compared to Bobov's 27.30%.[3]
In the Verkhovna Rada, Strikharskyi joined the Servant of the People faction, as well as the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Organisation of State Power and Local Self-Government. Strikharskyi has been criticised by anti-corruption non-governmental organisation Chesno for his September 2022 vote in favour of laws which diluted the authority of government anti-corruption bodies. He is also involved in multiple anti-corruption investigations.[2]
