In 1972, he was appointed Minister of Agriculture under President Georges Pompidou. In 1974, he rallied behind Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, who, once elected President, appointed him Prime Minister. He joined the French National Assembly, where he was elected Deputy in 1976. In 1977, he became the first Mayor of Paris to be elected by universal suffrage. Jacques Chirac was then appointed Prime Minister in 1986 during François Mitterrand's presidential term.

In 1995, Jacques Chirac was elected President of the Republic. In 2002, he won a landslide victory over Jean-Marie Le Pen.
