Biography
[edit]A former student of the Lycée Lyautey in Casablanca and the Lycée privé Sainte-Geneviève in Versailles, he joined HEC Paris in 2007, from which he graduated in 2012. He acquired French nationality by naturalization on 25 June 2012.[2]
In the municipal elections in Trappes in 2014, he led the UMP-UDI-Modem union list and reached the second round of the election where he obtained the score of 30.53%. This score tilts the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Urban Community (CASQY) to the right by providing an additional seat. He was elected vice-president of the urban community, responsible for economic development in 2018.[3]
Spotted by Valérie Pécresse, Nasrou became her spokesperson in Yvelines in May 2015 as part of her campaign for the regional elections in Île-de-France. He became regional advisor in December 2015, then vice-president in charge of international affairs and tourism in July 2016.[4]
On 6 March 2024, Nasrou was appointed campaign director of LR for the European elections, alongside François-Xavier Bellamy and Céline Imart.[5]
Nasrou was a candidate in Yvelines's 3rd constituency in the 2024 French legislative election, a constituency where the LR list in the European elections achieved 16% of the votes, more than double its national result (7%). He was beaten against another candidate claiming to be from The Republicans, supported by Éric Ciotti and the National Rally.[6]
