Serge Clair, in the 1960s, abandoned priesthood to pursue a career in politics. He went to Australia to further his studies. After his studies, he returned to Rodrigues to engage actively in politics.

Quickly enough, he grew in popularity, and in 1982, his party won a seat in the Legislative Assembly of Mauritius for the first time. He won the elections in 1983, 1987, 1991, 1995 and 2000 for the constituency of Rodrigues. In 2002, he resigned from the assembly to run in the Rodrigues regional election.

Rodrigues became autonomous in 2002 and established a regional assembly that participates in the general assembly of Mauritius.
