Pierre Maudet (born 6 March 1978) is a Swiss and French politician. A former member of FDP.The Liberals, he was the mayor of Geneva from 1 June 2011 to 31 May 2012.[1][2][3]
Long described as "prodigy" of Swiss politics,[4] Maudet became embroiled in a series of legal battles after a controversial undeclared all-expense trip to Abu Dhabi. Maudet ended up being expelled from the Geneva branch of the FDP, resigned from his position at the cantonal government in 2021 and lost his bid for re-election to Green Party candidate Fabienne Fischer.
Running again with his own party Liberté et Justice sociale ("Freedom and Social Justice"), Maudet is re-elected to the Geneva Council of State in April 2023.[5]
