From 1998 to 2002 Raoul was a member of the National Transitional Council, a provisional parliament that took over the country's legislative tasks after the end of the civil war in 1997.

After the end of the transition period, Raoul ran as an independent candidate in the first elections in May / June 2002 for a seat in the National Assembly . She won a seat in the runoff election in the constituency of the 7th arrondissement of the capital Brazzaville. Ultimately, however, Raoul did not take up the mandate, as she was appointed to his cabinet by President Denis Sassou-Nguesso . She took over the department for social affairs, family and veterans on August 18, 2002. On March 3, 2007, Raoul was given additional responsibility for health as part of a cabinet reshuffle. She lost it again after two years on September 15, 2009.

After President Denis Sassou-Nguesso won the elections again in March 2016, Raoul was not reappointed to a post in the cabinet.
