[1] In the May–June 2002 parliamentary election, Ibovi stood as the candidate of the National Convention for the Defense and Promotion of Denis Sassou Nguesso's Ideas (CNDPID)[2][3] in the second constituency of Talangaï, a district of Brazzaville.
[4][5] Later, the CNDPID was transformed into a new political party under Ibovi's leadership, the Movement for Democracy and Progress (MDP), which was officially launched on 18 February 2007.
[10] At a constituent meeting on 5 February 2011, Ibovi discussed the state budget for 2011, explaining the amount of funds provided to key ministries for investment in national development.
[13] Ibovi's constituency in Talangaï was affected by a massive explosion at a munitions dump in March 2012, in which hundreds of people were killed.
In the July–August 2012 parliamentary election, voting was not held in his constituency, as well as two others that were affected, due to the disaster; Ibovi and the two other deputies had their terms extended by the Constitutional Court in a ruling on 17 August 2012.
The ruling was in line with a constitutional provision allowing for such extensions when voting could not be properly held due to "exceptionally serious circumstances".
[18] On 30 December 2013, Ibovi, along with the Future Generation foundation, distributed food to widowed residents of Talangaï for New Year's celebrations.
He also blamed government ministers for "paralyzing inertia" that interfered with the implementation of Sassou Nguesso's plans for economic development.
[20] At a constituency meeting on 14 June 2014, he discussed the National Assembly's recent work and listened to complaints about local problems.
