Ibrahim Aboubacar

He and his family lived in Moroni until the Comoros gained independence in 1975, when they moved to Sada, Mayotte.

His family sent him to Réunion for secondary schooling, then he went to Paris to study engineering at l'École spéciale des travaux publics (ESTP) with the goal of returning to help improve Mayotte.

[2] He left the role soon after, when he was elected, as a member of the Socialist Party, to the post of deputy of Mayotte's second constituency in the same year.

After one term he was eliminated in the first round of the 2017 French legislative election, finishing in third place with 11.37% of votes.

[5] In contrast to the majority of his party, Aboubacar argues for a restriction on obtaining French nationality for children born in Mayotte to illegal immigrants, as a means of "combatting smuggling networks, which are hiding all sorts of trafficking".
