In politics, he joined the Socialist Party in order to support Prime Minister Laurent Fabius in 2006, then joined the Nouveau Centre in 2009.[5]
He joins the Union of Democrats and Independents (UDI).[4] Collaborator of the centrist deputy-mayor of Issy-les-Moulineaux, André Santini,[6] he works for him until 2011.[7] In 2012, he was a centrist candidate in the Val-de-Marne's 10th constituency.[8]
In 2014, he joined the National Front.[5] In 2017, Julien Odoul took over as head of the National Front Group in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté,[9] then joined the party's national office in 2018.[10] In 2019, he made comments during a council meeting along with a demand that a visitor take off her hijab. The visitor who was chaperoning a school trip was the mother to one of the children. Odoul's demand and remarks was rebuffed by council members with the council president, Marie-Guite Dufay, pointing out that neither French national law nor the regional council rules prohibited people from wearing veils during meetings.[11]
