Early life

Political career

El Guerrab joined the Socialist Party at the age of 14.[3] From 2006, he worked on the staff of Ségolène Royal.[4]

In parliament, El Guerrab served on the Defence Committee (2017-2018) and the Finance Committee (2017-2019) before moving to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.[5]

In addition to his committee assignments, El Guerrab is part of the French parliamentary friendship groups with Burkina Faso, Liberia and Mali.[6]

After he was indicted in September 2017, El Guerrab was threatened with expulsion from LREM and subsequently announced his departure from the party.[7][8]
