In 1920, he headed the Ukrainian Agrarian Party [[:uk:Українська Хліборобська Партія|[ukr]]], which recognized the Polish authority over Eastern Galicia and declared its participation in the elections to the Sejm scheduled for November 1922, in the event of a boycott of the elections announced by all major Ukrainian political parties in Galicia. Tverdokhlib was a candidate for a member of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland. Breaking the boycott of the elections led to a death sentence for him by the Ukrainian Military Organization. Tverdokhlib was shot during the election campaign, on October 15, 1922, in Kamionka Strumiłowa. He was buried at the Lychakiv Cemetery in Lviv (field 76). His friend, the sculptor Zygmunt Kurczyński [[:pl:Zygmunt Kurczyński|[pol]]], intended to make a monumental tombstone with symbolic statues for him, but the poet's widow gave up on this idea and ordered an ordinary tombstone.
