Dufosset is a municipal councilor in Aulnoy-lez-Valenciennes and a regional councilor for Hauts-de-France. He ran for the 2024 legislative elections in the Nord's 18th constituency (Cambrai, Caudry, Le Cateau-Cambrésis), where the National Rally's original candidate, Mélanie Disdier, did not run due to her recent election to the European Parliament three weeks before the election. His candidacy faced criticism from several local officials who accused him of being parachuted into the position. To everyone's surprise, Alexandre Dufosset was elected in the first round with 52.51% of the vote. He announced that he would resign from his position as a municipal councilor but would retain his seat on the regional council of Hauts-de-France.[1]
