He was Spokesperson for the French Government between 2002 and 2007, and assumed other tenures in the government—including Minister of the Budget—at the same time.

In November 2010 he became General Secretary of the UMP.
In August 2012 he announced that he would run for the presidency of the UMP, facing the former Prime Minister François Fillon. On 19 November 2012 he was elected President of the UMP with 50.03% of votes from its members, defeating François Fillon, who asserted his own victory.
