The PS 1998 won a relative majority in the Regional Council of Ile de France and Huchon was elected president of the Regional Council. He gave up his post as mayor of Conflans in 2001. In 2003 he became a member of the scientific advisory board of the social democratic think tank À gauche, en Europe , founded by Michel Rocard and Dominique Strauss-Kahn .

In the 2004 elections, Huchon is re-elected as regional council president. From 2007 he found himself in opposition to Christian Blanc when he was revising the urban land-use planning for the Île de France ( schéma directeur de la région Île-de-France ) , who worked for the government of Nicolas Sarkozy under the title Grand Paris (Greater Paris ) worked on another draft for the development of the capital region.

Huchon is assigned to the more pragmatic, social-democratic wing of the party. In an interview with Figaro in 2008, he called on the PS to break with the “Marxist doctrine”.

In the 2010 regional council elections, the PS and its coalition partners again won a majority and their top candidate was re-elected. After he had not enjoyed much publicity in the past and had been accused of lacking charisma, he now gained notoriety and successfully presented himself as a calm man of balance.
