In the October 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Lutsenko tried to get reelected into parliament this time by placing 70th on the electoral list of Petro Poroshenko Bloc. She was not however re-elected as the Petro Poroshenko Bloc gained only 63 seats by electoral list.[7][8]

Controversies
[edit]On 17 September 2014, Lutsenko was chased out of the event by the participants of the rally under the building of the Administration of the President of Ukraine with calls of "Shame".[13]
On December 9, 2015, as a deputy of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc faction, she repeatedly voted for herself and 3 other deputies. This case became the largest case of push-pull in the Verkhovna Rada in 2015.[14]
On 5 October 2017, in the hall of the Verkhova Rada, the remark "Oleh, take away the goat, take away the goat!", addressed to the People's Deputy from the Petro Poroshenko Bloc, Oleh Nedaviaba, a native of Yenakievo, neutralized the deputy Yuriy Levchenko (member of the "Svoboda"), who opposed the presidential bill No. 7164 "On the creation of necessary conditions for the peaceful settlement of the situation in certain areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions", which established the term of validity of the Law of Ukraine "On the creation of necessary conditions for the peaceful settlement of the situation in certain areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions" — 1 year from the date of entry into force.[15][16][17][18]
On 7 February 2019, during the discussion of the issue of renaming the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Verkhovna Rada Speaker Andriy Parubiy invited her to the podium. Lutsenko came out and began to report on observers from Russia and the possible preparation of interference in the elections of the president and people's deputies. Parubiy interrupted Lutsenko and drew her attention to the fact that she mixed up the reports. Because of this, she cursed with the expletive line "Blyakha-mukha".[19]

The Lutsenko family has two sons, Olkesnadr (born in 1989), and Vitaliy (born in 1999).
