At the time of the election, he was an independent.[2] He was successfully elected, defeating the independent incumbent Arkadiy Kornatskiy with 42.54% of the vote to Kornatskiy's 9.95%.[3]
In the Verkhovna Rada (parliament of Ukraine), Dyrdin joined the Servant of the People faction and the Verkhovna Rada Legal Committee.
