Political career On 11 February 2021, Virastyuk was nominated to run in the 28 March 2021 parliamentary by-election for constituency 87, located in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, by Servant of the People.

On 22 April 2021, the Central Election Commission of Ukraine (CEC) officially declared Virastyuk the winner of the election with 31.25%. Shevchenko appealed this decision and on 2 May 2021, the Supreme Court of Ukraine revoked the April 22 CEC decision claiming the CEC had not ensured the verification of all violations committed during the election. On 23 May 2021, the Supreme Court annulled this protocol too after an appeal by Shevchenko. The Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court annulled this decision on 5 June 2021 and ten days later he took the oath of the People's Deputy of Ukraine.
