In the local elections of 2020, the "Native House" party showed one of the highest results in Ukraine, and the mayor Atroshenko was re-elected with the third result in Ukraine among city mayors. On 31 July 2021, the Homeland Party and UDAR parties signed a Memorandum of Cooperation and joint participation in the next parliamentary elections in Chernihiv. On November 3, 2021, Oleksandr Lomako headed the regional organization of the UDAR Vitaliy Klitschka party in Chernihiv Oblast.[3]

From 1 February 2023 to 20 December 2024 Lomako was the acting mayor of Chernihiv.[4]

Investigations

In September 2023, the SBU searched Lomako's home. The basis for the search was the decision of the Kyiv Court. In September 2024, repeated searches were conducted as part of the case of illegal land allocation.[5]

In January 2025, Lomako was detained by law enforcement agencies in Chernihiv and taken to an unknown destination. His associate from the UDAR party, Artur Palatnyi, considered it political repressions.[6]
