In 2008 she became alderman for solidarity and family in Quetigny, a town in Côte-d'Or. She was chosen as the Socialist Party candidate for the 2012 French legislative election in the Côte-d'Or's 3rd constituency, already held by a female Socialist MP since 2002. It was a constituency reserved for a woman candidate, and all three candidates at the internal Socialist primaries had non European roots, Kheira Bouziane and Fadila Khattabi from Algeria and Safia Otokoré from Somalia.[2] She was finally selected. She had been a leading local member of the support committee for Martine Aubry for the French presidential primaries to select the Socialist Party candidate in 2011.[3][4][5] She finished first in the first round, with 37.98%, and won the second round with 53.05%.[6]

She stood in the 2017 election for Côte-d'Or's 3rd constituency as a Miscellaneous left candidate, and did not make the second round, which was won by LREM's Fadila Khattabi.[7]
