Oleh Andriyovych Dunda (Ukrainian: Олег Андрійович Дунда; born 6 March 1980) is a Ukrainian politician currently serving as a People's Deputy of Ukraine representing Ukraine's 91st electoral district as a member of Servant of the People since 2019.
Early life and career
Oleh Andriyovych Dunda was born on 6 March 1980 in the city of Dnipropetrovsk (now Dnipro) in Ukraine's southern Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, in what was then the Soviet Union. He graduated from the State Institute of Advanced Training and Retraining of Managers and Specialists of the Metallurgical Complex, specialising in finance. In 2000, he began working at the Ukraine bank, before joining PrivatBank as an economist in 2001, eventually becoming a department manager.[1]
In 2007, Dunda became a project manager at S. Yu. Designs. The next year, he became director of A.V.S. TOV. He is also the founder of IBK Atol TOV.[1]
Political career
In the 2015 Ukrainian local elections, Dunda was an unsuccessful candidate for the Kyiv City Council from the Revival party. He also served as an assistant to People's Deputy of Ukraine Denys Dzenzerskyi from the People's Front in the 8th Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada (parliament).[2]
In the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Dunda was the candidate of Servant of the People for the office of People's Deputy of Ukraine from Ukraine's 91st electoral district, located in western Kyiv Oblast. At the time of the election, he was an independent.[2] Dunda won the election, winning 35.00% of the vote. The next-closest candidate was independent incumbent Ruslan Solvar, who won 15.23% of the vote.[3]
In the Verkhovna Rada, Dunda joined the Servant of the People faction and the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Organisation of State Power, Local Self-Government, Regional Development and Urban Planning.[2] He has been accused by newspaper Ukrainska Pravda of being a member of the "Kolomoyskyi Group", a faction of Servant of the People supporting the interests of oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskyi. Along with Anton Polyakov, Viktor Bondar, Dmytro Chornyi, Olha Vasylevska-Smahliuk, Serhiy Demchenko, and Oleksandr Dubinsky, Dunda proposed over 1,000 amendments to the 2020 "Anti-Kolomoyskyi Law" establishing further regulations on the banking industry.[4]
In 2022, following the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Dunda was among the signatories of an appeal to Verkhovna Rada Chairman Ruslan Stefanchuk requesting that a bill on depriving elected officials from pro-Russian political parties of their mandates be sent to vote in the next legislative session. The same year, he voted in favour of legislation to establish further government control over the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine.[2]
