Murayev has been a deputy of the Kharkiv Oblast Council (two convocations) and a deputy of the Ukrainian parliament VII convocation and VIII convocation[1] (member of the Parliamentary Committee on Tax and Customs Policy). He is a former member of Party of Regions, Opposition Bloc[2] and former chairman of the political council of the For Life (Za zhyttia) party. In September 2018, he left Za zhyttia[3] and (five days later) created the new political party Ours (Nashi).[4][5] On 10 January 2019, Murayev's party elected him as their candidate in the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election.[6] On 7 March 2019, Murayev pulled out of the election in favor of Oleksandr Vilkul.[7] He also announced that Vilkul's party Opposition Bloc and Nashi would soon merge.[7] In the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election Murayev headed the nationwide list of this party that won 3.23% of the votes and thus did not overcome the 5% election barrier, thereby keeping Murayev out of parliament.
