Biography

Teacher by profession, Monique Orphé was elected to the Regional Council of Réunion in 2004.[2]

Nominated as a candidate in Réunion's 1st constituency for the 2007 legislative election, with Gilbert Annette as her replacement, she withdrew her candidacy in favour of Annette. A municipal councillor of Saint-Denis since 1995, she became the first deputy mayor to Gilbert Annette following the 2008 municipal elections.[2]

During the second round of the 2012 legislative election, she was elected Deputy of the newly created 6th constituency of Réunion with 58.9% of the vote.[3] A member of the Social Affairs Committee, she supported the El Khomri law in 2016.[4]

She supported Emmanuel Macron during the 2017 presidential election.[5] As a result of her support for Macron, she was refused the nomination of the PS during the 2017 legislative election, which she lost during the second round to Nadia Ramassamy (LR).[6][7]

A candidate during the 2021 departmental election in the Canton of Saint-Denis-1 with Gérard Françoise, she finished first in the first round with 54.6% of votes cast, but a high abstention rate didn't permit the pairing to be directly elected.[8][9] The Socialist Party pairing went on to win the second round of voting with 56.3% of votes cast.[10]
