The Engagés sent a press release this Thursday revealing their five heads of list in Brussels. These are “personalities who will embody our project for the Brussels Region in the next elections in June 2024”, comments the president of the party, Maxime Prévot. He adds: “This is a strong and balanced team which already combines diversity, experience and youth (the announced candidates are all under 40 years old, which is a bold and assumed!)”
At the top of the list, we find Christophe De Beukelaer, management engineer by training. He has been a Brussels MP since 2019 and last year, he was appointed President of Engagés à Bruxelles.
In second place is Gladys Kazadi. National vice-president of Engagés in charge of Citizen Action, she is a Brussels deputy and alderman in Berchem-Sainte-Agathe.

For third place on the list, a surprise candidate for whom Maxime Prévot maintains the suspense. He will make the announcement official in the coming months. The president of the Engagés indicates that it is “a new personality from civil society who will join the party”. And if the name of this person remains secret, it is because “the constraints linked to his profession, in particular, do not yet allow him to declare himself a candidate immediately”, specifies the press release.
In fourth place on the list is Mounir Laarissi. A political scientist graduated from ULB, he has been involved in Brussels political life for many years. Currently, he is alderman in charge of cleanliness, culture and the environment in Jette.
Finally, in fifth place, Maxime Prévot decided to place Sofia Bennani. This trained accountant started politics in 2012 and became a sports alderman in Anderlecht. Today, she occupies the role of municipal councilor and police advisor in her municipality.
