who is Rachel Kéké, the first chambermaid elected to the Assembly?

It is a little after 9 p.m., her eyes moist, an indelible smile clinging to her lips, Rachel Kéké has just learned that she is the first chambermaid to enter the National Assembly. “I’m moved, it’s a historic story!” She exclaims. Rachel Kéké (Nupes) was elected MP in the 7th constituency of Val-de-Marne in the second round of the legislative elections, facing the former Minister of Sports, Roxana Maracineanu (Together!).

“Carrying a voice, that of the people”

“I am these invisible trades, I am a chambermaid, cleaning lady, security guard, caregiver, home help, these trades will be visible! Now I’m going to get to work,” she says.

Leader of the strike movement of the chambermaids of the Ibis Batignolles, mother of a family, Rachel Kéké represents the workers in the shadows and “is a symbol”, repeat these supporters, who also find it difficult to believe in the victoire. “It’s incredible, it’s an honor, we can only trust him 100%!” Says one of his supporters.

“The fight she led with her colleagues was important, it is quite a symbol to see her return to the National Assembly to carry a voice, that of the people”, continues another. Another fight begins for the new deputy, that of carrying the voice of the “voiceless”, she said, this time, in the hemicycle.
