Karim Bouamrane (French pronunciation: [kaʁim bwamʁan]; born 21 February 1973) is a French businessman and politician who has served as Mayor of Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine since 2020.
A moderate Socialist, he was featured in international news when his commune, a Parisian suburb, became the subject of reports for its extensive urban renewal ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics.[1][2][3] After the Olympics and prior to the appointment of Michel Barnier, French media speculated Bouamrane could be a contender for Prime Minister following the 2024 snap legislative election. Karim Bouamrane declared himself in September 2025 in favor of a measure to encourage mayors to respect social housing quotas, with a penalty of ineligibility for those who do not respect the 25% imposed by law.[4]
