Razzy Hammadi


Razzy Hammadi is a French politician, elected in 2012 as a deputy for the Socialist Party.
Born in France of North African-born parents, he is a former president of the Young Socialist Movement. He moved to another constituency near Paris to be elected and finished first in Seine-Saint-Denis' 7th constituency at the 2012 French legislative election with 36,71% of the vote, ahead of Left Front incumbent Jean-Pierre Brard, MP since 1988. Brard withdrew in his favour for the second round for Hammadi to be elected in the second round. Close to Benoît Hamon, he was involved in drafting the Consumption Law in 2013–2014, being "rapporteur" at the National Assembly.
He launched a bid to become mayor of Montreuil in the 2014 municipal elections, but only secured 9.8% of the vote during the first round and failed to qualify for the second round.
