In 2004-2005 she led the Social Christian Party (in October 2008 that party merged with United Centre), later became a member of the party Our Ukraine, with the President Viktor Yushchenko acting as the Honorary Chairman. In February 2008 Bilozir and several prominent members left Our Ukraine; she became a member of United Centre. Bilozir voted for the dismissal of the second Tymoshenko Government in February 2009. In September 2010 she became a member of Christian Democratic Union. Bilozir took part in the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election as an independent candidate in single-member districts number 66 (first-past-the-post wins a parliament seat) located in the town Malyn; with a third place (with 12.13% of the votes) in the district she was not (re-)elected in parliament. In the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election Bilozir was a candidate of Petro Poroshenko Bloc; placed 80th on the electoral list. But the party won only 63 seats on the electoral list; hence she was not (re-)elected into parliament.
