He was elected Mayor of Nuku Hiva in 2002 following the disappearance of Lucien Kimitete .[2]
He was first elected to the Assembly of French Polynesia in the 2008 French Polynesian legislative election , on the Marquesan Te Henua Enata a Tu list, which advocated for the Marquesas Islands to be split from the rest of French Polynesia.[3] He later abstained from the Assembly's 2011 vote to re-enter French Polynesia on the United Nations list of non-self-governing territories .[4] He ran in the 2013 election as a candidate for the Union For Democracy (UPLD), but lost his seat.[5]
In February 2016 he attended the founding congress of the Tāpura Huiraʻatira and was elected as one of the party's vice-presidents.[6] He was re-elected to the Assembly as a Tāpura candidate in the 2018 election .[7] Shortly after the election he was charged with abuse of public funds and fraud over a roading project in Nuku Hiva.[8] In September 2018 he was convicted of both charges, fined US$50,000, and given a ten-month suspended prison sentence, but not disqualified from office.[9] [10] In December 2018 the French Polynesian government declined to seek damages from him.[11]
He was re-elected as mayor of Nuku Hiva in May 2020.[12] As mayor, he advocated for the Marquesas to become an "archipelago community" with autonomy within French Polynesia.[13] He also advocated for the Marquesas to be listed as a World Heritage Site .[14]
He was re-elected in the 2023 election .[15]
