In this, after the campaign, he found and led the [[Popular Party for French Democracy]] (PPDF), a component of the [[Union for French Democracy|UDF]], and served as [[List of Foreign Ministers of France|Minister of Foreign Affairs]] until the defeat of the Presidential Majority in the [[1997 French legislative election|1997 legislative election]].<ref name="mandates"/> 

In 2002, de Charette joined the [[Union for a Popular Movement]] (''Union pour un mouvement populaire'' or UMP). In December 2009, he left this party for the [[Nouveau Centre]].
