Biography

Hubert Brigand was mayor of Châtillon-sur-Seine (Côte-d'Or, France) for 27 years, from 1995 to 2022.[2] He relinquished this position following his election as Member of Parliament in 2022, due to the law on the non-accumulation of mandates, and became first deputy mayor. His son Jérémie Brigand is also involved in politics.[2]

Political career

Member of parliament

He was unsuccessful candidate in the 2017 legislative elections and narrowly qualified in second place in the first round in Côte-d'Or's 4th constituency in 2022. He won the second round by a wide margin with over 60% of the vote, the incumbent La République en Marche (LREM) candidate, up against a dissident Horizons candidate, having been narrowly eliminated in the previous round.[3][4]

In this second round against a National Rally candidate, he came out on top in 102 of the 107 communes in the constituency[5] where the local abstention rate of 48.81% was well below the national average.[6]
