He was a signatory to the [[Matignon Agreements (1988)|Matignon Accords]] in 1988 and the [[Nouméa Accord]] in 1998. He was elected deputy on [[16 June]], [[2002]], for the 12th session of the legislature (2002-2007), representing the 1st district in New Caledonia, but lost his hold on power as a result of the elections of 9 May, 2004, which propelled a new party, denominated "Future Together" (Avenir Ensemble), into control of government in South Province.
