2012 In 2012, Christiane Taubira chose not to run for reelection following her appointment as Minister of Justice. Gabriel Serville, a former mayor of Matoury running as a member of the Guianese Socialist Party, defeated Joëlle Prévot-Madère, the president of CPGME Guyana.
2007 In 2007, Taubira was elected for a fourth and final term versus Rémy-Louis Budoc (UMP), who she also faced in 2002. During the 2007 contest, which took place just weeks after Nicolas Sarkozy's election as president, Taubira stated that she was "approached" by Sarkozy's associates about the possibility of joining the government of François Fillon. Budoc pushed back against the claim, arguing that "[Taubira] criticized Nicolas Sarkozy too unfairly to deserve to enter this government".
