[4][6] Pierre Frogier becoming president of the government of New Caledonia and resigning from his mandate as mayor in 10 February, Thierry Santa's relations with the new chief magistrate, [ [Réginald Bernut]], prove to be conflicting.

He then became project manager for the Budget and Financial Affairs Directorate (DBAF) of the government, then returned to his position as secretary general of the town of Mont-Dore to the new mayor, Éric Gay, himself a close friend of Pierre Frogier.

The party's steering committee of 16 ratifies the new organization: the presidency, responsible for directing the bodies of the movement and overseeing political orientations, remains with Pierre Frogier, now surrounded six vice-presidents including four of the six mayors of the party, the new president of the Assembly of the South Province Cynthia Ligeard as well as Soane Michel Motuhi-Uhilamoafa, deputy to the head of the joint military transit service of New Caledonia and former paratrooper of Wallisian origin.

Thus, Gaël Yanno, who wishes to run for the presidency of the Congress during the renewal of the office and commissions of the assembly on 16 and keeping a group UCF distinct from that of the FPU, sees its objectives thwarted by Sonia Backès.

The latter, another founder of the MPC, resigned from local government on 10 to sit again within the Congress and announced the same day that he was joining a group "Les Républicains" also bringing together members of the FPU.

After the referendum of 4, Pierre Frogier finalizes the transmission of the queens of the party to the new generation by resigning from the presidency during a steering committee meeting in his stronghold of Boulari in Mont-Dore on 5 .

[7] For the provincial elections of 12, he allied himself with Caledonian Republicans in 10 February in the electoral coalition of L'Avenir en confidant, forming a tandem with Sonia Backès to lead the list in South Province, the latter taking first place and him second.

[12] Three days later, on 9 July, he was also responsible for the coordination and control of the sectors of external relations and civil security (two areas generally managed directly by the head of the executive), tourist promotion, the strategy for the development of natural resources, the mining code and the social accounts within the Santa government.
