In 2001,after leading a dissident list in the first round against those of Jean-Dominique Giuliani and Claude Roland,representing the lists of Philippe Séguin and Jean Tiberi respectively,his list won the second round with 57.8% of the votes against the socialist Alain Morell,resulting in his re-election as mayor. [4] [5] In 2008,his list won again with 56.04% of the vote against the left-wing union list. [6] During the 2011 senatorial elections,he supported Pierre Charon’s dissident list,which resulted in Charon’s election as a senator. [7]
From 1997 to 2012,he was the deputy of Martine Aurillac,the MP for Paris’s 3rd constituency. In 2012,he ran in the legislative elections for Paris's 11th constituency against socialist mayor of the 14th arrondissement,Pascal Cherki.

On October 10,2013,Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet designated him as the UMP leader in the 6th arrondissement for the 2014 municipal elections in Paris.

[10] He won the three seats on the Council of Paris and 12 of the 13 seats on the arrondissement council.
He supported Nicolas Sarkozy for the 2016 Republican presidential primary. [11] On March 3,2017,amid the Fillon affair,he withdrew his support for LR candidate François Fillon in the presidential election and endorsed Alain Juppé. Between the two rounds of the 2017 presidential election,he announced his vote for the En Marche candidate.
In the 2017 legislative elections,he ran as a center-right candidate in Paris's 2nd constituency,opposing Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet. [12] As a result,the LR party initiated suspension proceedings against him. [13] He received 9.2% of the vote in the first round and did not issue a voting directive for the second round. [14]
