Elected to the National Assembly in 1967, he held several governmental posts (1967-74) before serving as premier (1974-76) under Valéry Giscard d'Estaing . Chirac broke with Giscard in 1976, however, and assumed leadership of the neo-Gaullists as head of the newly founded Rally for the Republic. Mayor of Paris from 1977 to 1995, he was twice an unsuccessful presidential candidate (1981, 1988) and once more served as premier (1986-88), under François Mitterrand .
