Biography
[edit]In 1983, he became mayor of Petite-Île after his list won the municipal elections on the first ballot. The same year, he became a member of Réunion's regional council.[1]
Elected General Councillor for the Petite-Île canton in 1988, he chaired the Departmental Council of Réunion from 1994 to 1998.[2] He was re-elected in the 2001 cantonal elections,[3] but resigned the following year due to a combination of mandates.[4]
In the 2002 legislative elections, he was elected deputy for the Réunion's 4th constituency in the first round, with 50.3% of the vote, notably against David Lorion (UMP).[5] He is a member of the Socialist group at the National Assembly. He did not stand for re-election in the 2007 legislative elections,[6] which were won by the Socialist Patrick Lebreton in the second round.
After four consecutive terms in office, he did not stand for re-election in the Petite-Île municipal elections of 2008, nominating Serge Hoarau as his successor.[7] However, Hoarau was defeated in the second round by Guito Ramoune, the official PS candidate.
