Othman Nasrou (born 13 July 1987) is a Moroccan-born French politician of The Republicans (LR) who has been serving as a member of the Regional Council of Île-de-France since 2015. From September to December 2024, he briefly served as the Secretary of State for Citizenship and the Fight Against Discrimination in the government of Prime Minister Michel Barnier.
Early life and eduction
A former student of the Lycée Lyautey in Casablanca and the Lycée privé Sainte-Geneviève in Versailles, Nasrou joined HEC Paris in 2007, from which he graduated in 2012. He acquired French nationality by naturalization on 25 June 2012.
Political career
In the municipal elections in Trappes in 2014, Nasrou led the Union for a Popular Movement-UDI-MoDem union list and reached the second round of the election where he obtained the score of 30.53%. This score tilts the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Urban Community (CASQY) to the right by providing an additional seat. He was elected vice-president of the urban community, responsible for economic development in 2018.
In 2015, Valérie Pécresse appointed Nasrou as her spokesperson in Yvelines, as part of her campaign for the regional elections in Île-de-France. He became her Soyons libres party’s regional advisor in December 2015, then vice-president in charge of international affairs and tourism in July 2016.
On 6 March 2024, Nasrou was appointed campaign director of LR for the European elections, alongside François-Xavier Bellamy and Céline Imart.
Nasrou was a candidate in Yvelines's 3rd constituency in the 2024 French legislative election, a constituency where the LR list in the European elections achieved 16% of the votes, more than double its national result (7%). He was beaten against another candidate claiming to be from The Republicans, supported by Éric Ciotti and the National Rally.
