Early life[edit]
El Guerrab, the son of Moroccan immigrants, was born on 25 April 1983 in Aurillac.[2]
Political career[edit]
El Guerrab joined the Socialist Party at the age of 14.[3] From 2006, he worked on the staff of Ségolène Royal.[4]
In parliament, El Guerrab served on the Defence Committee (2017-2018) and the Finance Committee (2017-2019) before moving to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.[5]
In addition to his committee assignments, El Guerrab is part of the French parliamentary friendship groups with Burkina Faso, Liberia and Mali.[6]
After he was indicted in September 2017, El Guerrab was threatened with expulsion from LREM and subsequently announced his departure from the party.[7][8]
Controversy[edit]
In September 2017, El Guerrab was detained by police after a fight with Socialist Party lawmaker Boris Faure; Faure was hospitalized after El Guerrab hit him with a motorcycle helmet.[9] In 2022 he was sentenced to 3 years in prison for the assault.[10]
