In the last elections, Lopushansky ran as an independent candidate in the 125th constituency, centered in Staryi Sambir (Lviv region).
Since 2005, when Yulia Tymoshenko was Prime Minister of Ukraine, Andriy Lopushanskyy served as First Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Naftogaz of Ukraine National Joint-Stock Company. In April 2006, Prime Minister Yuriy Yekhanurov dismissed Lopushanskyy, but in January 2009, Tymoshenko reinstated him, effective October 8, 2007.
In June 2014, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk fired Lopushansky from Naftogaz "for failing to show up for work for more than four months in a row." Lopushansky had been on maternity leave since 2010.
