Political career[edit]
Hennadiy Gufman is a Deputy of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Council of V, VI, VII and VIII convocations (from 2006 to the present).
He is the organizer of the election campaign of the party Opposition Platform — For Life in the 2020 Ukrainian local elections.[5][6] Regional party organization, which was headed by Gufman, went into the elections with a simple and clear idea — politics should bring benefits to people. This allowed, despite active opposition from radical elements, to gain significant support from voters: 22.5% in the elections to the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Council and 20.31% in the Dnipro City Council. This was significantly higher than the result shown by the Opposition Platform — For Life in the parliamentary elections a year earlier - 13.05%.[7][8]
Hennadiy Guzman categorically rejects all far-fetched accusations against the Opposition Platform — For Life party. In his opinion, the party has always stood on the most pro-Ukrainian positions, since it has never divided citizens into "right" and "wrong".
On December 16, 2020, he was elected First Deputy Chairman of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Council. On November 14, 2022, he resigned due to his inability to properly perform his duties.[9][10]
Since March 2022 the head of the Regional Deputy Association “For Ukraine! For Dnipropetrovshchyna!”.

Within the framework of the program, more than 30 projects were implemented, in which more than 700 thousand residents of Dnipro and the region took part.[3] The experience of implementing the program “Social Reconstruction” was summarized in the book of Hennadiy Gufman “The way of good changes”, which was published in 2020.
He is the initiator of the project “Dyakuemo za zhyttya”,[12] dedicated to the commemoration of the World War II, in particular, to the liberation of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast from Nazi invaders.
