## Political career

In 2011, he was elected to the State Duma by Liberal Democratic Party list.
On 23 September 2015, the head of the Liberal Democratic Party Supreme Council Igor Lebedev announced that he had decided to expel Nossov from the party for the inflated scandal with rapper Guf, since, according to the politician, it was Dmitri Nossov who initiated the detention of Guf: "all actions of Nossov have nothing to do with the party. This is his personal PR. He will no longer be a member of the Liberal Democratic Party».
On 11 March 2016 Liberal Democratic Party leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky said that Nossov will not be run to the State Duma from this party in the September election. The reasons cited were Nossov's inability to work with voters and party structures, as well as his admiration for Stalin's personality, going against the party's position. After that, Nossov made an attempt to participate in the primaries of United Russia and to be nominated as a Deputy from this party, but his application was canceled due to membership in the LDPR. On 13 April, Nossov was expelled from the LDPR for "loss of connection with the party", fascination with his own PR and the creation of a "personal guard" under the guise of the "Anti-dealer" movement. The proposal to hand over the mandate noses ignored, and on 20 June he was expelled from the faction with the words "for treason».
As a result, Dmitri Nossov was nominated by the Communist party in the Divnogorsk single-member constituency of Krasnoyarsk Krai. In the election, Nossov took second place and was defeated by United Russia candidate Viktor Zubarev.

### 2024 presidential candidacy

In December 2017, he announced his intention to run for President of Russia in 2024.
According to him, he does not agree with the expression of the State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin that "no Putin — no Russia". He wants Russia to be even without Putin, so that Russia will be a strong state, just power in 200–300 years, which its citizens would be proud of and which would be respected throughout the world.
